hg-commit:tldr:b8420
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 usehg 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.
