hg-pull: Specify a specific branch to pull.

$ hg pull --branch ${branch}

try on your machine

The command "hg pull --branch ${branch}" is a version control command used for the Mercurial (hg) distributed version control system. It is used to fetch updates from a remote repository and update the local repository to reflect those changes, specifically focusing on a specific branch specified by the variable "${branch}".

Here is a breakdown of each component:

"hg pull": This is the basic command for fetching updates from a remote repository. It retrieves any changes made in the remote repository that the local repository does not have.
"--branch ${branch}": This part of the command specifies the branch that should be fetched. The variable "${branch}" is used, indicating that the specific branch name will be provided when executing the command. The command will pull updates only for the specified branch.

In summary, this command is used to update the local repository with the latest changes from a remote repository, specifically focused on a specific branch identified by the variable "${branch}".
