IRC
Internet Relay Chat is one of the best ways to interact with the Mercurial community. We can be found in the channel #mercurial on irc.libera.chat.
Contents
1. Etiquette
The Mercurial channel usually has a couple hundred people in it, so to help things go smoothly, we ask that you:
- Don't say hello, just ask your question!
- If you want help with a bug, please be responsive to developer questions
- Don't make demands of developers - they're under no obligation to help anyone
- Don't be rude to other Mercurial users
- We're not fluent in all SCMs, don't assume we know what a "git foo-bar" is
- Try to avoid prolonged digressions about things other than Mercurial
Use http://paste.debian.net/ to share tracebacks, etc. (or http://pastebin.com)
Please read suggestions on giving advice

!hg-website <changeset id> - summarize a commit in the hg-website repo
issue<issue number> or a direct link to an issue on our BugTracker - summarize an issue from the bug tracker
