In the cloning section you will:

• Clone a demo repository from bkbits.net to your local machine; this repository will act as the "server" repository.
• Clone a workspace from the "server" repository you cloned from bkbits.net.

Go to a directory or folder of your choice.

mkdir BK cd BK bk clone http://bkdemo.bkbits.net/bk_demo my_parent

This creates a complete copy of the workspace in BK/my_parent.

If it doesn't work, you might need to tell BitKeeper about your HTTP proxy, which you can do by

# shell export http_proxy=http://your_proxy.your_company.com:80/ # cshell setenv http_proxy http://your_proxy.your_company.com:80/ # Windows cmd.exe set http_proxy=http://your_proxy.your_company.com:80/

For more information about methods of accessing repositories see the manual page
