Question

Is there a good, native Mac tool to view Mercurial repositories, similar to gitnub for Git?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I know it's pretty old question, however just for sake of completeness, I think it is still worth to mention here the newest kid on the block called Murky.

OTHER TIPS

Try the newly released MacHg. It uses the native GUI toolkit for Mac and comes with its own bundled version of Mercurial.

There are many more screenshots available.

I just released a new tool, SourceTree which is native Mac OS X and lets you work with both Mercurial and Git repositories in one application. alt text

A few months back, Dustin Sallings wrote a fork of GitNub that uses Mercurial. It's Leopard-only, but lovely.

On Tiger, the "view" exension mentioned in the other comments works okay, as does hgview.

hg: unknown command 'view'

(Maybe I need to install something - but it's not native, nonetheless).

There is one "native" application out there, but it's not especially user-friendly. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that it's harder to use than the command line.

There was some talk a year or so ago about a version of SCPlugin, which puts badges on icons in the Finder that are under SVN control, and gives you a contextual menu (very much like TortoiseSVN on windows), but that seems to have collapsed.

I have been planning to create a mercurial "clone" of Versions (I asked them if they would consider doing a version of it for DVCS, and they said no).

You can use the one "built in", hg view. You'll need TCL installed though.

From the documentation:

The hgk Tcl script is a direct port of the gitk tool used with git. The hgk.py extension allows hgk to interact with mercurial in a git-like manner.

edit @ Matthew: yeah, that's why I linked to the documentation that explains it. You need to enable it in your .hgrc (like the fetch command), and TCL --as mentioned.
