hg clone

Create a copy of an existing repository in a new directory. More information: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/doc/hg.1.html#clone.
  • Clone a repository to a specified directory:
    hg clone {{remote_repository_source}} {{destination_path}}
  • Clone a repository to the head of a specific branch, ignoring later commits:
    hg clone --branch {{branch}} {{remote_repository_source}}
  • Clone a repository with only the .hg directory, without checking out files:
    hg clone --noupdate {{remote_repository_source}}
  • Clone a repository to a specific revision, tag or branch, keeping the entire history:
    hg clone --updaterev {{revision}} {{remote_repository_source}}
  • Clone a repository up to a specific revision without any newer history:
    hg clone --rev {{revision}} {{remote_repository_source}}
