Ok, thanks for the help--that ended up being pretty easy. Something else I'm confused about is why the same files appear in two different directories. There's the hg-yt directory in YT_DIR/src,

The yt-hg directory is a clone of the yt mercurial repository. It gets created by the install script.
 
and then there's YT_DIR/yt, which seems to be the exact same thing. What's the difference between them?

I don't have this directory in my install script build.  Is there a chance you created this directory at some point? 
 
Another question--will the fork that I created be updated with future changes to the code, or do I have to manually update it, and, if so, how?

You will need to manually keep it up to date.  You can do this by clicking the "sync now" link on the overview page for your fork on the bitbucket web interface, or by manually pushing changes to your fork using "hg push".  You can configure mercurial so that your default push location is your fork, see "hg help paths".

That said, I don't think it's important to keep your fork up to date. I generally have my paths setup so I pull directly from the main yt_analysis/yt repository and then push to my fork only when I want to issue pull requests.  If your fork is out of date, you when you push the changes for your pull request, you will also push the changes that will bring it up to date.
 

Thanks for your help,

There is also some discussion on how to do it in the developer documentation:


Thanks for your hard work on this, and don't hesitate to ask for more help!

Hi Dan,

Yup, you can commit in that directory, and push to a fork.  Create a
fork on bitbucket, then do your changes and commit, and issue this
command:

hg push https://bitbucket.org/yourusername/yt

Then you can issue a pull request via their web interface.  You can
also edit your hgrc to add an alias, but that can happen later.
