>> Seeing a lot of messages related to moving from mercurial to git here in the mailing list. Are the nginx.org code repos shifting to Git instead of Mercurial?

it's unclear, isn't it?

this

	https://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html

says mercurial is in use,

	"Mercurial is used to store source code"

and doesn't even mention github as the source repo.

well, except for

	"Have you heard? njs has moved to GitHub. Read more."
	https://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2024-June/WBTVAEMFIOQDL3VEBP7Z65Q4E56T73L6.html

		"This week we took the next step in our commitment to the Open Source
		community by moving the official njs code repository to GitHub
		(https://github.com/nginx/njs)."

it _does_ suggest

	GitHub is used to store the sources for this website. Documentation changes should be submitted as a pull request.

pointing to

	https://github.com/nginx/nginx.org

this also exists,

	https://github.com/nginx/nginx

where it states it's

	The official NGINX Open Source repository.

and doesn't mention being a mirror.

and, there's

	Hg to git transition #112
	  https://github.com/nginx/nginx/pull/112

which

	@arut arut merged commit 6bb4be1 into nginx:master August 30, 2024 10:06 AM
