How can I find a gitk type of tool for hg


Can you please tell me where I can find a 'gitk' type of tool for hg on ubuntu?

I have tried '$ sudo apt-get install tortoisehg' but I get this:

$ hgtk
abort: This version of TortoiseHg requires Mercurial version 1.3.n to 1.4.n, but finds 1.5.2

Solution

  • There's an extension called hgk which looks very similar to gitk and distributed with recent versions of hg - you often need only to edit your .hgrc to enable it - though it's only really a visualisation and patch browsing tool and doesn't let you make anywhere near as many changes as gitk. (Personally, I prefer hgview which looks a lot better though is again only really for visualisation and patch browsing.)
