Mercurial in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own mercurial package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Mercurial should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
hgchg
Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.
Keep repositories in your Linux home folder, which is much faster than Android's shared folders for their many small files. Version control tools reach remote servers over Android's own network connection, a VPN connected in Android included. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About Mercurial
From Debian's package description
Mercurial is a fast, lightweight Source Control Management system designed for efficient handling of very large distributed projects.
Its features include:
- O(1) delta-compressed file storage and retrieval scheme
- Complete cross-indexing of files and changesets for efficient exploration of project history
- Robust SHA1-based integrity checking and append-only storage model
- Decentralized development model with arbitrary merging between trees
- High-speed HTTP-based network merge protocol
- Easy-to-use command-line interface
- Integrated stand-alone web interface
- Small Python codebase
This package contains the architecture dependent files.
From Debian's description of the mercurial package, under that package's license.
