The command "fossil commit --message-file ${path-to-commit_message_file}" is a command-line instruction used with the version control system called Fossil. Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
"fossil" refers to the Fossil version control system. It is followed by the sub-command "commit" which is used to save changes made to a project or repository.
-
"--message-file" is an option that specifies that the commit message will be provided from a file instead of directly on the command line.
-
"${path-to-commit_message_file}" is a placeholder indicating the path or location of the file that contains the commit message. You need to replace it with the actual path to the file on your system.
When you run this command, Fossil will read the content of the file specified by "${path-to-commit_message_file}" and use it as the commit message for the changes you are committing. The commit message typically summarizes the purpose or nature of the changes being made, allowing other developers to understand the modifications made in the project's history.
