Correct command to retrieve remote mercurial updates pushed from my second machine

Question

I'm new to Mercurial.

1. I initialized a Mercurial project on Machine A, committed my changes and uploaded them to a remote repository.

2. Then I cloned that repository on Machine B, committed some additional changes and uploaded them to the same remote repository.

In both cases, I uploaded the changes with the same command:

hg push https://username:password@domain/user/repository/

Now I'm back on Machine A and I'm not sure how to update my local repository with the last changes I uploaded to the remote repository from Machine B.

The commands hg clone or hg pull look like they might work but I'm not sure.

Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

Answer 1

Use hg pull; pull transfers only changesets which are missing in the existing destination repository.
hg clone creates local copy of a remote repository.

Answer 2

hg pull will transfer any remote changesets not present in your local repo. Afterwards, you'll need to either hg update or hg merge depending on the presence of local changes.
