Clone Your Fork

On Windows:

  • Start the TortoiseHG Workbench.
  • Choose View > Show Repository Registry.
  • Choose File > Clone Repository.
  • Enter location of your forked repository in the Source field.
  • Enter a destination on your system for your local repository, for example:
    C:\Users\yourusername\repos\myquotefork
    When you are done the dialog will look similar to the following:

  • Press Clone.
    The system clones the repository and displays it in the registry list.

On Mac/ Linux:

  • Open a terminal window on your local system.
  • Change directory to your repos directory.
    If you have followed along in this tutorial, your repos folder contains only a single Git repository. There is no reason repos cannot also contain a Mercurial repository.
  • Clone the fork to your local system.
    The command is similar to the following:
    hg clone  https://bitbucket.org/atlassian_tutorial/myquotef...

    You would need to replace atlassian_tutorial with: your_accountname

  • Change to the ~/repos/myquotefork directory.
