fossil-commit: Create a new version containing changes from the specified files; user will be prompted for a comment.
$ fossil commit ${filename1} ${filename2}
try on your machine

The command "fossil commit ${filename1} ${filename2}" is used in version control systems, specifically in the Fossil version control system, to commit changes made to specific files named ${filename1} and ${filename2}.

Committing changes means that you are saving the current state of the files, along with any modifications or additions you have made, into the version control system. Once committed, the changes become a part of the project's history, allowing you to track and manage different versions of your code.

In Fossil, the "fossil commit" command creates a new commit, which includes the specified files as part of that commit. The "${filename1}" and "${filename2}" represent the names of the files you want to include in the commit. You can include more than two filenames, separating them with spaces.

After executing this command, Fossil will prompt you to enter a commit message to describe the changes made in the commit. Once you provide the message and confirm, the changes will be saved as a new commit in the Fossil repository.
