hg-pull: Specify a specific bookmark to pull.
$ hg pull --bookmark ${bookmark}
try on your machine
The command "hg pull --bookmark ${bookmark}" is used in the Mercurial version control system to fetch changesets from a remote repository and update a specific bookmark.
Let's break down the command:
- "hg" refers to the Mercurial executable, which is used to perform various repository operations.
- "pull" is a command used to retrieve changesets and other necessary data from a remote repository.
- "--bookmark" is an option that indicates that we want to update a specific bookmark.
- "${bookmark}" is a placeholder for the name of the bookmark you want to update. You would replace "${bookmark}" with the actual name of the bookmark you want to pull and update.
When you run this command, Mercurial will connect to the remote repository specified in your configuration and retrieve any changesets that are not already present in your local repository. Additionally, it will update the specified bookmark to reflect the changes that were pulled.
