Description

Its purpose is to easily navigate in a Mercurial repository history. It has been written with efficiency in mind, both in terms of computational efficiency and user experience efficiency.

It is written in Python.

There are two user interfaces:
  • a graphical interface using PyQt5 and QScintilla, the

  • a text interface: using urwid, pygments and pyinotify

Note that the Qt5 interface is much more complete than the text interface. The Qt5 interface provides more views on the repository.

hgview intallation notes

hgview can be used either as a hg extension, or as a standalone application.

The Common library depends on: mercurial (1.0 minimum) The Qt5 interface depends on PyQt5, QScintilla and PyQScintilla, DocUtils The Text interfaces depend on urwid (>=0.9.1 for “raw”, >=1.0.0 for “curses”), pygments and pyinotify

hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/hgview
