The Mercurial Pull Other dialog box enables you to pull changesets from an external Mercurial repository and add them to your local repository.
You can access the Pull Other dialog by choosing Versioning > Pull Other from the main menu.
In the Pull Other dialog, you need to specify the location of the Mercurial repository you want to pull from.
Repository URL: Type in the URL of the repository you want to pull from.
The IDE supports the following Mercurial URLs:
Protocol | Access Method | Example |
---|---|---|
file | Direct repository access (on local disk) | file:///repository_path |
http | Access via WebDAV protocol to a Mercurial-aware server | http://[username[:password]@]hostname/repository_path |
https | Access via HTTP protocol with SSL encryption | https://[username[:password]@]hostname/repository_path |
static-http | Access via HTTP also, albeit slower, allows access to a Mercurial repository where you simply use a web server to publish the .hg directory as static content | static-http://hostname/repository_path |
ssh | Access via SSH | ssh://hostname/repository_path |
