hg-init: Initialize a new repository in the specified directory.

$ hg init ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command "hg init" is used to initialize a new Mercurial repository in the specified directory. Mercurial is a distributed version control system, which allows you to track changes made to your files over time.

In the command "hg init ${path-to-directory}", "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that represents the path to the directory where you want to create the repository. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to the directory on your system.

For example, if you want to create a repository in the directory "my_project", you would replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to "my_project". The command would then be:

hg init my_project

This command will create a new Mercurial repository in the specified directory, enabling version control for the files within that directory.
