hg-pull: Update the local repository to the head of the remote.

$ hg pull --update

try on your machine

The command "hg pull --update" is used in the Mercurial version control system to fetch and integrate remote changes into your local repository.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"hg": It is the command used to interact with Mercurial.
"pull": Instructs Mercurial to retrieve changesets from a remote repository. It scans the repository for any new changesets since the last pull or clone.
"--update": This flag tells Mercurial to update the working directory with the new changesets immediately after pulling them. It means that if there are any updates, Mercurial will automatically merge or update your local working directory to the latest version.

In summary, "hg pull --update" fetches the latest changesets from a remote repository and automatically updates your local working directory to the most recent version.
