Instructions on how to log into Lab46 via shell can be found here.

After you've logged into lab46 via shell, we'll be using Mercurial to clone a remote repository. This is done with the command:

 hg clone ssh://USER@lab46.g7n.org//var/repos/hg/user/USER ~/src 

Where uppercase USER is replaced with your lab46 username, and lowercase user remains unchanged.

This will clone the repository into a directory named src that is a subdirectory of your home (~) directory.

We will also be cloning a second repository for the semester, done with the command:

 hg clone ssh://USER@lab46.g7n.org//var/repos/hg/user/USER/SEMESTER ~/src/SEMESTER

Where SEMESTER is your semester written as the name of the month and then the year in YYYY format, without spaces, e.g. fall2023.

At the top right of any lab46.g7n.org page should be a button to log in, shown here:

The username and password should be the same as the username and password you used to log into Lab46 via shell in previous steps.
