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}}
