fossil-init: Create a new repository in a named file.
$ fossil init ${filenamename}
try on your machine

The command "fossil init ${filename}" is used to create a new Fossil repository with the specified filename.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "fossil" is the executable command for the Fossil version control system.
  • "init" is a subcommand that initializes a new repository.
  • "${filename}" is a placeholder for the desired name of the repository file. You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual name you want to give to the file.

When you run this command, Fossil will create a new repository file with the specified name, which will be used to store all the version control information, such as the history of changes, branches, tags, etc. You can then start using the Fossil repository to track and manage your project's files and history.
