Welcome to Part 3: Connecting To A Remote Mercurial Repository!

Probably a good time to push your local repository to a remote repository. Not only for safekeeping/backup but maybe you want to share your project with other people on your team (or virtual team) who are going to use source control, too.
Let’s see how that works.
It should go without saying but…DO NOT rely solely on source control as a backup!
