Track your scientific scripts with Mercurial

If you want to publish your scientific scripts, as Nick Barnes advises in Nature, you can very easily do so with Mercurial.

All my stuff (not just code), excempting only huge datasets, is in a Mercurial source repository1.

Whenever I change something and it does anything new, I commit the files with a simple commit (even if it’s only “it compiles!”).


  1. Mercurial is free software for versiontracking: http://mercurial.selenic.com

Please feel free to use it!

and

That’s not faith. It’s theory. The difference is that there’s a clearly defined way to adjust the theory, when it’s wrong.
