I wonder if there even is public mercurial hosting available anymore. This git monoculture is starting to be a bit annoying.

For the longest time I just couldn’t see what the fuzz (about Git) was about. But after finally switching I don’t think I’d ever go back.

What VCS were you coming from, and what makes Git so much nicer?

I believe Git and Mercurial are considered to be 'about as good' by most.

SourceHut offers mercurial hosting, though it’s entirely community maintained.

Heptapod supports a Mercurial hosting service (free for OSS) that’s a fork of GitLab: https://heptapod.net/

Really appreciate the link. Much prefer mercurial to git on my own stuff.
