I used Mercurial before switching to git. The positive difference from switching was how branches worked. I don’t know the technical details but branches on git felt “lighter” to use and maintain than with Mercurial.
- yomismoaqui 8mo agoMercurial introduced bookmarks,it was something similar to git branches. But it was already too late, GitHub and Linus' weight did the rest.
