I really like the Brotherbard GitX fork; is there something along the same lines for hg?
Sourcetree has a good clean GUI and supports Mercurial and Git and it's free.
MacHg is a fairly full OSX client:
It is a native OSX GUI client for Mercurial. It is modern and fully multi-threaded using Grand Central Dispatch and threading goodness. It has a clean interface and allows multiple repositories per document, using a standard mac sidebar interface. It incrementally loads data so its very fast. Ie it easily handles browsing the mozilla repository which is 3.35Gb. MacHg is fully featured handling all standard Mercurial commands, and additionally provides history editing features through the Mercurial rebase, strip, collapse, and histedit extensions.
Murky is about it, but it's nowhere near as mature as GitX.
TortoiseHg is an OK GUI. OSX port is reported as "in progress."
I use Murky. There are two things to note:
When you enter the repository url use this pattern: https://username:password#domain.com. That's the only place where you can enter your username and password.
There are some things you can't do through the GUI (I think merge is one of them), in which case you can launch the terminal from the app and use the command line. You'll then see any changes update in the GUI.

For designing the MEAN stack application, I am creating separate modules( angularjs,expressjs,nodejs,mongodb) and i am linking them manually. Can you please suggest me an IDE available for directly designing MEAN stack application.
These topics on Stack Overflow usually get flagged as contentious or something after a while. However I thought I would share my own experience of using JavaScript IDEs under Windows.
I was using PyCharm, however my dev box is ageing a bit and PyCharm is too heavy for it. Besides, as the name implies, it's really for Python, in fact I started using it for Django.
If I could afford WebStorm and a box to run it on, I'd definitely check that out :)
I fell back on the default at my workplace, Notepad++. However the linter add-on is a bit clunky, and it has real difficulty rendering JavaScript in HTML.
For now I am satisfied with my recent discovery of brackets.io. It does have an early days feel to it, but I find it's code completion particularly useful, and once I got an add-on to use JSHint instead of JSLint it chimes very well with the meanjs code I'm learning from. Meanjs uses swig templating, which parses as straight HTML so there's no problem there, but if you're wedded to a particular template module then you should look for an IDE that supports it, either directly or via add-ons. Brackets.io seems to have quite a lively add-on community at the moment.

I read the article below and would like to try scribble in Ruby but the only source i can find is on svn which i don't have or use.
Here is the link
http://nex-3.com/posts/3-scribble
Is this a gem and how can i install it ? Does it run on Ruby193/Windows7 ?
Please share your experience.
The page you linked says:
You can download and run Scribble right now from it’s Subversiony home. This home is currently on Hampton Catlin’s server, because mine doesn’t support Subversion.
svn co svn://hamptoncatlin.com/scribble/trunk scribble
To run it, just run the bin/scribble file. It requires Ruby, of course, as well as the latest Ruby GTK+ bindings and Ruby Cairo bindings (and of course GTK and Cairo themselves). Note that this won’t work with the latest RubyGems – you actually need to compile the latest development versions of these yourself. If you’ve got all of those, it should be able to run on OSX, Linux, and Windows.
Unfortunately, though, the SVN server seems to have disappeared sometime around 2010. There seems to be a fork of the code at https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/scribble/trunk , but i haven't even looked at the code, much less tried to use it. You'll likely need a Bazaar client (bzr) to get it...at which point the rest of the instructions would apply.

Now i know there are loads of posts on this subject and i have tried a number of these clients but they don't seem to offer what i need.
I need a client that will allow me to commit/update git repositories i have stored on a linux server, but all the clients i have tried only allow me to either enter github credentials or create/use repositories on the local system.
This client has to work on OSX.
Are there any clients that will allow me to check out a project using a url?
Any Git client will do, you can do that from console as well, just point it to a different repository (not the one on github nor the one on your computer).
My Git needs are solved by command line only but If you need a graphical client I've heard that 'tower' is quite good: http://www.git-tower.com/
Try SmartGit and in the occurring Welcome dialog select the Clone option. Then paste your remote Git-repository URL and continue.
GitX is also very nice and works very well. It has multiple repos on Github with different forks these days. I prefer this fork: https://github.com/laullon/gitx/downloads

Does anyone know an easy to use application that creates exe setup installation package for any windows program? InstallJammer looks a good candidate but its development is discontinued and it does not create a desktop icon although I configured it to do so (probably a bug - googling did not help much). Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks.
All a question of how complicated you want to get. If you just need something quick to install a handful of files, I would recommend NSIS. If you need something with a bit more power and flexibility I'd go with WiX, which emits Windows Installer MSI packages.
Both of these a script\text based, so you can see what you are doing, and don't have any license fees.
I second the recommendation for NSIS. It will do everything you need, works with XP, Vista and Windows 7. Is compatible with 64-bit and handles user privileges and short-cuts.
It is all I use for all of my installers and patches and some of them are quite complex, it is also free and open-source.
Download the main framework at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download and then I would also recommend using the HM-NSIS editor for writing your scripts http://hmne.sourceforge.net/

I use more than one machine for development in VS 2008. Is there a tool to automatically synchronize the snippets between the machines? Same concept of synchronizing browsers' bookmark.
If you have Vista and the LiveMesh client installed try this suggestion
Hope this helps.
The machines are in different locations, home and work so software like SyncToy won't work.
I don't know about SyncBack. It's not clear from their web site if it can be done over the web. I can't find the client software on MS's site for Live Mesh.
I will check ideas here:
http://lifehacker.com/372175/free-ways-to-synchronize-folders-between-computers
Try one of these:
1) http://www.getdropbox.com
2) https://www.foldershare.com/welcome.aspx
3) Microsoft Office Groove
I personally use SVN.
I tried foldershare and did all the setup and it's not syncing. Also when I chose On Demand type of synchronization instead of Automatic, I expected to see an option to trigger the synchronization manually and I couldn't find it. I didn't like the software.
Looked around and found syncplicity and it works fine.
Assuming you already know what files you need/want sync'd then some additional options to Mesh would be to tool-out. Maybe look at SyncToy or SyncBack to keeps these collection of files centralized - then have all your machines pull from the central data store.
There is also Live Sync (formery FolderShare) which works over the internet.
