Git vs Mercurial Table

Git Mercurial
git pull hg pull -u
git fetch hg pull
git reset --hard hg update -C
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> Not necessary in Mercurial.
git reset Not necessary in Mercurial.
git add -i hg record
git commit -a hg commit
git commit --amend hg commit --amend
git blame hg blame or hg annotate
git blame -C (closest equivalent): hg grep --all
git bisect hg bisect
git rebase --interactive hg histedit <base cset> (Requires the HisteditExtension.)
git stash hg shelve (Requires the ShelveExtension or the AtticExtension.)
git merge hg merge
git cherry-pick <commit> hg graft <cset>
git rebase <upstream> hg rebase -d <cset> (Requires the RebaseExtension.)
git format-patch <commits> and git send-mail hg email -r <csets> (Requires the PatchbombExtension.)
git am <mbox> hg mimport -m <mbox> (Requires the MboxExtension and the MqExtension. Imports patches to mq.)
git checkout HEAD hg update
git log -n hg log --limit n
git push hg push

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
