Mercurial

Fast, scalable distributed version control system

About Mercurial

Mercurial is a distributed version control system designed for large codebases, offering a simple command model and fast branching for development teams. Self-hosting it on a small server, NAS, or VPS keeps the service available on your terms and makes backups and migrations straightforward. For teams, the appeal is control: audit the code, extend it where the license allows, and keep the workflow running even if a vendor changes direction.
