Pull

hg pull [-u] [-f] [-r REV]... [-e CMD] [--remotecmd CMD] [SOURCE]

A pull propagates changesets from a "remote" repository (the source) into a local repository (the destination). It can optionally update the working directory (specify option -u or --update).

The source (or "remote") repository may be located on the same or on a different computer. In the latter case, the changes are pulled over the network using the protocol specified by the provided URL of the remote repository.

The source may also be a bundle file.

Pull transfers only changesets which are missing in the destination repository.

General rule of thumb: Finish your work and commit it before you start pulling in stuff from the outside world.¹
