How do I update my own Mercurial Fork with the lastest code in the main code base?

Question

Hi folks,

I've got a fork of some Codeplex project. I wish to update my fork with the latest code in the official code (is that the trunk?).

How can I do this?

I'm also using TortoiseHG on Win7 x64.

Thanks :)

The commands are pull (to fetch the remote changes), and update to update your working directory to the most recent changeset.

Since you don't seem very familiar with the way Mercurial works, it would be a very good idea to read some introductory material like:
