Mercurial clone from a branch

Question

We have a repository with three named branches, I wanted to clone one of the branches. Is there a mercurial command to do that? If I provide the path (of branch) with hg clo

Answer 1

I'm using Mercurial-4.0.2. In that we can specify the branch name by appending branch name with a # symbol in the clone url.

e.g.

hg clone https://user@cloneurl/my_product#MY_BRANCH

hg clone --verbose https://user@cloneurl/my_product#MY_BRANCH "C:\myCode"
