+> You can easily load this Node directly from a repository.
+>
+> ```python
+> import zntrack
+>
+> node = zntrack.from_rev(
+>     "HelloWorld",
+>     remote="https://github.com/PythonFZ/ZnTrackExamples.git",
+>     rev="b9316bf",
+> )
+> ```
+>
+> Try accessing the `max_number` parameter and `random_number` output. All Nodes
+> from this and many other repositories can be loaded like this.

 An overview of all the ZnTrack features as well as more detailed examples can be
