Command equivalence table

Git command	Hg command	Notes
git pull	hg fetch hg pull -u	The fetch command is more similar but requires the <a href="/wiki/FetchExtension">FetchExtension</a> to be enabled.
git fetch	hg pull
git push	hg push -r .	By default, git only pushes the current branch.
git checkout <commit>	hg update -c <cset>	git checks and reloads (accidentally) removed files
git checkout [<rev>] -- <file(s)>	hg revert [-r <rev>] <file(s)>
git reset --hard	hg revert -a --no-backup
git reset --hard HEAD~1	hg strip -r .
git revert <commit>	hg backout <cset>
git add <new_file>	hg add <new_file>	Only equivalent when <new_file> is not tracked.
git add <file> git reset HEAD <file>	—	Not necessary in Mercurial (see shelve below for partial commit support).
git add -i	hg record	Requires the <a href="/wiki/RecordExtension">RecordExtension</a> to be enabled.
git commit --amend	hg commit --amend
git rebase --interactive	hg histedit <base cset>	Requires the <a href="/wiki/HisteditExtension">HisteditExtension</a>. In core since version 2.3
git stash	hg shelve	Requires the <a href="/wiki/ShelveExtension">ShelveExtension</a> or the <a href="/wiki/AtticExtension">AtticExtension</a>.
git merge	hg merge	git merge is capable of octopus merges, while mercurial merge prefers multiple merges
git cherry-pick <commit>	hg transplant <cset> hg graft <csets>	Transplant requires the <a href="/wiki/TransplantExtension">TransplantExtension</a>. Graft is available in 2.0 and higher.
git rebase <upstream>	hg rebase -d <cset>	Requires the <a href="/wiki/RebaseExtension">RebaseExtension</a>.
git format-patch <commits> and git send-mail	hg email -r <csets>	Requires the <a href="/wiki/PatchbombExtension">PatchbombExtension</a>.
git am <mbox>	hg mimport -m <mbox>	Requires the <a href="/wiki/MboxExtension">MboxExtension</a> and the <a href="/wiki/MqExtension">MqExtension</a>. Imports patches to mq.
git describe	hg log -r . --template '{latesttag}-{latesttagdistance}-{node|short}\n'
git describe rev	hg log -r rev --template '{latesttag}-{latesttagdistance}-{node|short}\n'
git log origin..HEAD git log origin/foobranch..HEAD	hg outgoing
git fetch && git log HEAD..origin	hg incoming	git fetch keeps the changesets while hg incoming (without --bundle foo) discards them. Use git pull (will fetch further changes) or git merge origin to update the working directory
git show rev	hg export rev
git show hash:file	hg cat -r rev file
git ls-files	hg manifest
git log	hg log
git log -n	hg log --limit n
git ??	hg summary
git status	hg outgoing hg status
git remote add -f remotename url	—	Edit .hg/hgrc and add the line 'remotename = url' under section '[paths]'; see below for getting changesets
git remote update remotename	hg pull remotename	When remotename is omitted in Git, all remotes are updated. In Mercurial, the default remote is refreshed.
git branch -a	hg branches
git config --global user.(name|email) ...	—	Edit ~/.hgrc section "[ui]", key "username", value "First Last < <a class="mailto" href="mailto:mail@example.org">mail@example.org</a> >"
git clean or git status --porcelain|sed -r 's:\?\?\s(.*):\1:g'|xargs rm	hg purge or hg status -un|xargs rm	purge requires the <a href="/wiki/PurgeExtension">PurgeExtension</a> In Windows you might need to add sed 's:\\:/:g' before piping xargs rm, otherwise the inverted slash in Windows paths will be interpreted as an escape
