It’s for Mercurial, not Git. So you need to use it through Mercurial’s UI. It’s good for Mercurial users, not Git users.
If you are only interested in the conversion, git-remote-hg has a configuration option (remote-hg.hg-git-compat) that allows it to behave as hg-git, so the result of a conversion with git-remote-hg is exactly the same as one with hg-git.
A friendly fork of git-remote-hg which is mostly in sync, but it has a few extra features that I’m still thinking how to merge into this project properly.
gitifyhg is a fork of git-remote-hg (unadmitted) that basically does the same thing with slightly different implementation details and development practices. Seems to be dead now.
git-remote-hg has all the features of gitifyhg, and more. It passes all the tests of gitifyhg.
This is a very nice tool, but only allows you to export stuff (fetch an hg repo), and you have to manually run the git fast-import command, setup the marks, and so on. It was unmaintained for a while, but seems to be back alive.
It needs separate tools, such as hg convert, and git fast-export, and it doesn’t use remote helper infrastructure, so it’s not transparent: you have to run git-hg clone, git-hg fetch, and so on.
Not well maintained.
You need quite a lot of patches on top of git, so your vanilla version of Git is not going to cut it. In addition to that it doesn’t support as many features: no tags, no bookmarks. Plus it fails all the extensive tests of git-remote-hg.
It needs hg-git, and is dead now.
It needs hg-git, doesn’t use git’s remote helper infrastructure: you have to do git hg clone, git hg pull, etc. Very crude, and hasn’t received updates in a decade.
