Correct command to retrieve remote mercurial updates pushed from my second machine

Question

I'm new to Mercurial.

I initialized a Mercurial project on Machine A, committed my changes and uploaded them to a remote repository.
Then I cloned that repository on Machine B, committed some additional changes and uploaded them to the same remote repository.

In both cases, I uploaded the changes with the same command:

hg push https://username:password@domain/user/repository/

Now I'm back on Machine A and I'm not sure how to update my local repository with the last changes I uploaded to the remote repository from Machine B.

The commands hg clone or hg pull look like they might work but I'm not sure.

Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

hg pull will transfer any remote changesets not present in your local repo. Afterwards, you'll need to either hg update or hg merge depending on the presence of local changes.

Use hg pull; pull transfers only changesets which are missing in the existing destination repository.
hg clone creates local copy of a remote repository.
