hg-commit: Commit a specific file or directory.

$ hg commit ${filename_or_directory}

try on your machine

This command is used in Mercurial (a distributed version control system) to commit changes made to a file or directory. Here's an explanation of the different parts of the command:

hg commit: This is the command used to create a new commit in Mercurial. It captures all the changes made since the last commit, and saves them as a new version of the code.
${filename_or_directory}: This is a placeholder representing the specific file or directory that you want to commit. You need to replace ${filename_or_directory} with the actual name of the file or directory you want to commit. For example, if you want to commit a file named "script.py", you would use hg commit script.py.

When you run this command, Mercurial will analyze the changes made to the specified file or directory, and prompt you to enter a commit message describing the changes. Once you provide the commit message and save it, the changes will be permanently saved in the repository as a new commit.
