Clone the repo of this training

What is cloning?¶

If you’re new to version control, “cloning” simply means downloading a complete copy of the project repository to your computer. Unlike a regular download, a clone includes the entire history of the project and allows you to keep your local copy synchronized with updates. Don’t worry, it’s a straightforward one-command process!

About this repository¶

The repository for this training uses Mercurial. This choice is discussed in detail in a dedicated page on our main website. The installation of Mercurial was presented in Versioning tools.

Clone the repository¶

To get the training sources locally on your computer, navigate to the directory where you want to store the repository and run:

hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/py-edu-fr/py-edu-fr

git clone "hg::https://foss.heptapod.net/py-edu-fr/py-edu-fr"

You can verify that the training directory was created successfully:

ls
cd py-edu-fr
ls

You should now see all the training files in the py-edu-fr directory.
