How to migrate from Mercurial to Git
Wednesday, January 21, 2026
Migrating from Mercurial to Git preserves complete repository history including branches, tags, and commit metadata during transition. With over 25 years of software development experience and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve migrated legacy Mercurial repositories to Git for modern workflows. Git’s fast-export and Mercurial’s hg-fast-export tools enable conversion with full history preservation and author attribution. This approach ensures seamless transition from Mercurial to Git with complete audit trail and repository integrity.
