Solution 1

I know it's pretty old question, however just for sake of completeness, I think it is still worth to mention here the newest kid on the block called Murky.

Solution 2

Try the newly released MacHg. It uses the native GUI toolkit for Mac and comes with its own bundled version of Mercurial.

There are many more screenshots available.

Solution 3

I just released a new tool, SourceTree which is native Mac OS X and lets you work with both Mercurial and Git repositories in one application. alt text

Solution 4

A few months back, Dustin Sallings wrote a fork of GitNub that uses Mercurial. It's Leopard-only, but lovely.

On Tiger, the "view" exension mentioned in the other comments works okay, as does hgview.

Solution 5

You can use the one "built in", hg view. You'll need TCL installed though.

From the documentation:

The hgk Tcl script is a direct port of the gitk tool used with git. The hgk.py extension allows hgk to interact with mercurial in a git-like manner.

edit @ Matthew: yeah, that's why I linked to the documentation that explains it. You need to enable it in your .hgrc (like the fetch command), and TCL --as mentioned.

Is there a good, native Mac tool to view Mercurial repositories, similar to gitnub for Git?

yes, murky looks fine, but there is no tut at all :/ it would be great to have a quick start video tut for that. I'm having difficulties as a new source control user :/

There is now a new newest kid on the block called MacHg: jasonfharris.com/machg :-) It supports big repositories and looks very smooth.

Is there a way to integrate the viewer into the ~/.hgrc? So "hg view" will start the viewer?

Yes Murky is really slow when scrolling through the reposity history.

fyi: your image is now a broken link.

@math: the idea is that you use MacHg for most or all of your Mercurial tasks, but if you want, then you can use a shell alias to make hg view launch MacHg.

@PaulNathan: The link somehow got fixed, but I've now replaced it with a link to imgur.com. Thanks for the comment!

SourceTree is excellent - I pray that one of these days such a client will be available on Windows to replace TortoiseHg - not that TortoiseHg is terrible, but I like the "standalone-ness" of SourceTree and that It Just Works.

@Brandon: Shelving in SourceTree is very bad. Shelves all or nothing.

Murky has not had any development since 2010. I would recommend looking at another option.

This has not had any development done since 2014. I would recommend another choice. SourceTree is a good choice. MacHg would not run Mac OS Sierra (10.12.1).

Doesn't work with MacOS Sierra?

Its beautiful, fast, and works flawlessly on Mac. (Env: MacOS Sierra)
