    If you generally think that to develop software you have to choose one repository, then in my opinion you have to choose between Mercurial and Git, there is not other solution. Mercurial also has a good merge tool which i can recommend. This gives you the flexibility to push just the "part of the feature", and is much better suited in the case where the "part of feature" and some other "part of the feature" both contain changes to the same file.

    Cons
    GitKraken (formerly Axosoft)
    • Timing Out - when editing a story or bug, occasionally Axosoft will time out and all changes will be lost
    • Viewing past sprints can be hard to locate
    • Multiple users within a Story - Axosoft could do a better job managing multiple users on the same story
    • User Interface isn't entirely user friendly and looks a bit outdated

    • When I install Mercurial I always have to do a hard restart of my computer.

    Usability
    GitKraken (formerly Axosoft)
    Over the years, I have used many Git tools, but GitKraken stands out. It's now my favorite Git tool by far—excellent graphical overview of the branches, straightforward usage of all functionality, and lots of integration available. Currently, I am using GitKraken to connect to the ADO and quickly create PRs, using gitflow and tracking the work of my team mates.

    I actually like JIRA better, to me the UI is a lot cleaner. Easier to use, and search tickets.

    When we chose Mercurial it was more popular from perspectives than Git and we have too many problems with the Microsoft team foundation solution. We also want to move from a centralized version of source control to a distributed one. We also were working more and more via the Internet with our source control so distributed version was only solution.
