Mercurial Support & Consultancy

Mercurial is a cross-platform, distributed revision control tool for software developers. It is mainly implemented using the Python programming language, but includes a binary diff implementation written in C. Mercurial was initially written to run on Linux. It has been ported to Windows, Mac OS X, and most Unix-like systems. Mercurial is primarily a command line program but graphical user interface extensions are available.

Mercurial's major design goals include high performance and scalability, decentralized, fully distributed collaborative development, robust handling of both plain text and binary files, and advanced branching and merging capabilities, while remaining conceptually simple.

Mercurial is open source software, which means that the user has the ability to change and customise it for their needs. Our consultants can provide expert support to manage and administer Mercurial installations.

credativ has the largest dedicated open source support team in Europe, with the capability to offer up to 24x7 coverage for any Mercurial installation. Our support contracts are priced competitively, starting at just £199 per month. This will cover any free software used by the customer - see our Open Source Support Centre for more.
