I can’t help it, Mercurial is my favorite VCS right now for several reasons.  I thought it might be helpful to post a list of resources that I’ve come across.

  • TortoiseHg - Download and install it!  TortoiseHg adds an item to context menus in Windows Explorer.  It also includes Mercurial.
  • Mercurial - The Mercurial website; contains lots of educational material.
  • Mercurial: The Definitive Guide - by Bryan O’Sullivan.  For all of your nitty gritty HG needs.
  • HgInit - Joel Spolsky’s introduction to Mercurial, with a little reeducation for SVN users.
  • Hg Tip - Tips for beginner and advanced users alike.
  • Using Mercurial with CodePlex and GitHub - Great post by Jeremy Skinner.
  • TekPub: Mercurial with CodePlex (free) - A special free episode.  Rob Conery walks through using Mercurial with CodePlex.
  • TekPub: Mastering Mercurial - The TekPub series on Mercurial.
  • VisualHG - Visual Studio plug-in that adds Mercurial to your list of Source Control plug-ins.
  • BitBucket - A code hosting site for Mercurial.
  • TeamCity - A continuous integration build management system by JetBrains that Supports Mercurial.  I tried this out recently, and configured it in parallel with VSS for a single project.  When I ran it cold, Hg was 65% faster than VSS.
  • Reference Cards & Cheat Sheets

If you have anything to add, please comment and I’ll update the post.

mugshot I am a passionate C# Developer working in ASP.NET on an e-commerce solution for ticketing software. I work across all of the application layers, including server side functionality, and client side programming with jQuery and MS Ajax. Although my full time job is in WebForms, I spend many of my off hours working with MVC. I am especially interested in productivity and good programming practices.
