And git is, albeit not perfect, good, and is FOSS, so I feel I can trust it (see https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/open-source/not-trust-non-FOSS/ ). -- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Buddha has the Chuck Norris nature.

That put aside, git established itself as the golden standard for now and I don't like hg so much better to stick with it. See: * https://better-scm.shlomifish.org/docs/this-site-is-irrelevant/ * https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=the-last-mercurialian If hg works for you, you are welcome to use it as it is after all FOSS.

Re: Some Bash/zsh helpers to convert away from bitbucket's mercurial repos
Alternatively, for anyone wishing to remain using mercurial, sourcehut offers hosting of hg repositories. And has a "come on over from bitbucket" script. https://hg.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/invertbucket On Fri, Aug 23, 2019 at 12:17:03PM +0300, Shlomi Fish wrote: > Hi all! > > Due to https://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket > I wrote these and made them FOSS under the MIT / Expat licence: > > https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/blob/master/shlomif-settings/home-bin-executables/bin/bitbucket-hg-to-git--source-me.bash > > Hope they can prove useful. > > -- > Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ > > Buddha has the Chuck Norris nature. > > Please reply to list if it's a mailing list post - http://shlom.in/reply . > ___ > Linux-il mailing list > Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il > http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il -- Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Some Bash/zsh helpers to convert away from bitbucket's mercurial repos
Hi all! Due to https://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket I wrote these and made them FOSS under the MIT / Expat licence: https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/blob/master/shlomif-settings/home-bin-executables/bin/bitbucket-hg-to-git--source-me.bash Hope they can prove useful. -- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Buddha has the Chuck Norris nature.
