Inspired by git for beginners This is a compilation of information on using mercurial for beginners for practical use Svn is different from git and mercurial, in that it is a single repository that all users have to pull and commit to Git and mercurial have a distributed model This means that there is a repository on every computer and there is usually an official repository that people will choose to commit their changes to and pull from
