+<h2>I want to put my changes into a master repository shared with my colleagues</h2>
 
+<p>Setting up such a repository with a properly configured remote server
+is out of the scope of this Help, but you generally want one of the
+following:</p>
+
+<p><b>A server that everyone on your team has secure ssh access to</b>, <i>or</i></p>
+
+<p><b>An account with a managed online Mercurial hosting service</b></p>
+
+<p>With either of the above, you should be able to create a new
+repository on the server and obtain a Mercurial URL for it.  That may
+be a <i>ssh://host/path</i> URL in the former case, or the URL (often an
+<i>https</i> one) provided by the service in the latter case.</p>
+
+<p>In EasyMercurial, you then:</p>
+
+<p><b>1. Go to Remote -> Set Remote Location.., enter the URL of the remote repository and click OK.</b>
+<ul><li>This tells EasyMercurial to use that URL as the default location for subsequent push and pull operations.</li></ul></p>
+
+<p><b>2. Click Push on the main toolbar at the top of the EasyMercurial window.</b></p>
+
+<p>This will push all of the changes that you have made in your local
+repository (since you pushed to the same target, if you ever have).
+You should do this regularly whenever you have a coherent set of
+changes for others to use or test.  Your colleagues can then pull from
+the same remote repository URL to obtain your changes.</p>
+
+<p>For this to work, the target repository must be <i>related</i> to the local
+one.  That means either a repository that has been pulled to, or
+pushed to from, the local repository before; or the repository that
+was initially used to clone the local one from; or else an empty
+repository.</p>
