Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool designed to efficiently handle projects of any size. It offers an easy and intuitive command line interface, allowing software developers to effectively manage their codebase through advanced committing, merging, and branching capabilities. With the ability to create new projects or clone existing ones, Mercurial enables users to push changes and maintain a comprehensive history of changesets for individual files and entire repositories. The tool's versatility supports a wide range of workflows, from on-off patch submission and review bookmarks to approval management with auditing and configuration control.
