# Mercurial: Clone Repository Dialog Box

The Mercurial Clone Repository dialog box enables you to create a local clone of an existing Mercurial repository.

In order to clone a Mercurial repository, you need to indicate the source repository and the destination of the clone (i.e., the name and location of the parent folder, and the name of the clone).

Element | Description
--- | ---
Source Repository | The name and location of the repository that is to be cloned. This field is read-only, and is determined by the context you are working from in the IDE (e.g., from a selected Mercurial-versioned item in the Favorites window).
Parent Directory | Specify the parent directory for the clone. The parent directory of the source repository is provided by default. Click Browse to open an explorer allowing you to navigate to a location on your computer.
Clone Name | Enter a name for the clone.
