[[https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/tortoisehg/thg|TortoiseHg]] /* I think the old website (https://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/) was not yet migrated, so linking to the new repo seems best for now, to not make people think the project is dead */ is a set of graphical tools and a shell extension for Mercurial.

 On Windows:: TortoiseHg consists of a shell extension, which provides overlay icons and context menus in your file explorer, and a command line program named `thg.exe` which can launch the TortoiseHg tools. Binary packages of TortoiseHg for Windows include Mercurial, TortoisePlink and a merge tool and are thus completely ready for use “Out of the Box”.

 On Linux:: TortoiseHg consists of a command line thg script and a Nautilus extension which provides overlays and context menus in your file explorer. You must have Mercurial installed separately in order to run TortoiseHg on Linux. TortoiseHg binary packages list Mercurial as a dependency, so it is usually installed for you automatically.

TortoiseHg is primarily written in Python and !PyQt (the Windows shell extension being the notable exception). The thg script and TortoiseHg dialogs can be used on any platform that supports !PyQt, including Mac OS X.

Online documentation is available at: https://tortoisehg.readthedocs.io/ (the English version is most up to date, but it's available in more languages).
