copied!<p>My own hit list:</p> <p>The simple ones you must have:</p> <ol> <li><code>color</code>: colorize output from commands like <code>diff</code> and <code>status</code>, which makes it easier to assess.</li> <li><code>pager</code>: browse long output a page at a time.</li> <li><code>fetch</code>: pull, update and merge from another repo in one step.</li> <li><code>graphlog</code>: display revision graphs in your shell, incredibly useful for looking at the branches in your log history.</li> <li><code>hgk</code>: browse the repository with a graphical interface (see also TortoiseHg and Murky)</li> </ol> <p>If you enable <code>pager</code>, you should configure it to not interfere with certain commands:</p> <pre><code>[pager] pager = LESS='FSRX' less ignore = version, help, update, serve, record </code></pre> <p>The intermediate extensions I highly recommend (and use frequently):</p> <ol> <li><code>record</code>: lets you interactively select hunks of files to commit - perfect for when you are in the middle of one set of changes, and you end up fixing something that should have its own commit.</li> <li><code>extdiff</code>: configure an external diff tool (such as meld)</li> <li><code>share</code>: have multiple clones use the same repo history</li> </ol> <p>The Advanced extensions I would not be without:</p> <ol> <li><code>mq</code>: manage a stack of patches. Very powerful, allows layering of patches on top of the tree.</li> <li><code>notify</code>: send email notifications when a repo is changed.</li> <li><code>rebase</code>: reapply local changes on top of a new parent revision.</li> <li><code>largefiles</code>: work with large binary files outside the hg store</li> </ol> <p>All the above are bundled with Mercurial, and are stable and well-tested. I highly recommend all of them.</p> <p>Non-core extensions worth investigating:</p> <ol> <li><code>shelve</code>: selectively put aside changes (at the granularity of hunks) and restore them.</li> <li><code>acl</code>: selectively allow access to different parts of the repository tree</li> </ol> <p>Superseded extensions and migrated to core (info from @durin42):</p> <ul> <li><code>forest</code> was been superseded by the <code>subrepo</code> support introduced in v1.3</li> <li><code>bookmarks</code> is in core and always enabled</li> <li><code>transplant</code> is superseded by <code>graft</code>, a core command</li> <li><code>histedit</code> is in core as of v2.3, but is disabled by default</li> <li><code>inotify</code> is not recommended, as there is apparently a bug due to a race condition</li> </ul>
