hg-root: Display the root location of the specified repository.
$ hg root --cwd ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine
The hg root command is used in Mercurial, a distributed version control system, to display the root (or top-level) directory of a Mercurial repository.
In the context of the provided command hg root --cwd ${path-to-directory}, the --cwd option specifies the working directory that Mercurial should consider when running the command. ${path-to-directory} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to a directory.
So, when you execute this command with a specific directory path, it will display the root directory of the Mercurial repository associated with that directory.
