Enabling SSH compression is recommended but not required.

By default, Git automatically performs compression when sending or retrieving data, but Mercurial doesn't. Enabling SSH compression can speed up sending and retrieving data, drastically in some cases.

To enable SSH compression:

  1. Open the Mercurial global configuration file (~/.hgrc).

  2. Add this line to the UI section:

    ssh = ssh -C

    When you are done the file should look similar to this:

    [ui]
# Name data to appear in commits
username = Emma <emmap1@atlassian.com>
ssh = ssh -C
  3. Save and close the file.
