Firefox Development Is Moving From Mercurial To Git (groups.google.com)

For a long time Firefox Desktop development has supported both Mercurial and Git users. This dual SCM requirement places a significant burden on teams which are already stretched thin in parts. We have made the decision to move Firefox development to Git.

  • We will continue to use Bugzilla, moz-phab, Phabricator, and Lando
  • Although we'll be hosting the repository on GitHub, our contribution workflow will remain unchanged and we will not be accepting Pull Requests at this time
  • We're still working through the planning stages, but we're expecting at least six months before the migration begins

I forgot what it was but I used something else trust me you don't want to use that.

It's a rather unpopular idea on lemmy, but sometimes a monopoly is good thing. git having a monopoly in version control is a good thing

100% this. Git is defacto for good reasons. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Feel free to try the others out though ๐Ÿ‘
