Simple Hg Server

Simple Hg Server is a super handy app for your Mac that lets you create and run an Hg / Mercurial service in just a few easy steps. Seriously, setting it up takes less than a minute! With this app, you can add, remove, and manage repositories with no hassle.

Easy Setup for Your Repositories

The cool thing about Simple Hg Server is that it doesn’t require any authentication. This means all pulls and pushes are anonymous. Because of this, it's best to use it on a local network where only trusted users can access the server.

Managing Your Repositories

After installing and launching Simple Hg Server, you just need to point it to your server root location—basically, the folder where all your Hg repositories live. You can easily create new repositories and sort them into folders right from the app’s interface. Whenever you want to add or remove items, just open them in Finder!

Flexible Connection Options

This app supports the http:// protocol, and by default, it listens on port 8000. But don’t worry—you can change that anytime if needed! You also have control over whether remote computers can connect to your server or if you want to allow or block push operations.

User-Friendly Interface

Once you start using Simple Hg Server, an icon will pop up in your Mac’s menu bar. From there, starting or stopping the service is as easy as clicking a button. The icon even changes based on whether the server is running or not!

Run It in the Background

If you're not keen on having the app visible all the time, you can disable its appearance in the Dock. This way, Simple Hg Server runs quietly in the background while you focus on other tasks.

A Great Choice for Local Networks

In short, if you're looking for a simple way to set up and run a Mercurial service on your local network with minimal effort, Simple Hg Server is definitely worth checking out!
