I hope they can pull it around and work on their shortcomings. + +### Documentation: [Mercurial for Git users](https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/GitConcepts) + +As prepartion for my [new job](/2018/02/18/a-new-job/) I installed Mercurial (`hg`) and played around with it. +The linked documentation compares Git (what I used for the past 5 years) to Mercurial. +Seems there are quite a few similarities and it shouldn't be too hard to get comfortable with it.
