fossil-rm: Remove a file or directory from Fossil version control.
$ fossil rm ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine
The command "fossil rm ${filename_or_directory}" is used in the version control system called Fossil to remove a file or a directory from the repository.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "fossil" is the command-line interface to interact with the Fossil version control system.
- "rm" is short for "remove", indicating that we want to delete a file or a directory from the repository.
- "${filename_or_directory}" is a placeholder for the name of the file or directory you want to remove. You need to replace it with the actual name of the file or the directory you wish to delete.
When you run this command, Fossil will remove the specified file or directory from the repository's history, and it will no longer be tracked. However, please note that this command does not delete the file or directory from your local file system—it only removes it from version control. To delete the file or directory from your local machine, you'll need to use a separate command, such as "rm" on Unix/Linux systems or "del" on Windows.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
