New Contributors Mentoring

If you are a new contributor that wishes to start investing time in Mercurial development, you can grab one of the "Mentored" task. These tasks are low hanging fruits selected by core developers to help newcomers get a grasp of the code base and contribution process.

1. List of Mentored task per topic

2. Small "First" tasks

These tasks should be good fit for first contributions. They are reasonably isolated and can be completed in a reasonable amount of time.

2.0.1. Task involving only Rust code

The rhg pure Rust executable is a good pool of simple "first task". Multiple simple command are waiting to be implemented:

• hg id
• hg path
• hg branch
• hg bookmarks
• hg config (some of it is already implemented)

2.0.2. Task involving Python Only

• add a -t/--tool flag to evolve's hg pick

3. Medium Sized Task

These tasks are a bit more ambitious. They can be used to dive a bit deeper in some aspect of Mercurial. They can often be sliced in multiple subtasks

3.0.1. Task involving Rust code

• implement/integrate a Rust version of chg to the rhg executable,

• implement rust based version of the smartset object used by revsets,
