hg: Execute Mercurial command.
$ hg ${command}
try on your machine

The command hg is typically used as a shorthand for the version control system Mercurial. When you see hg ${command}, it means that hg is the executable or the command-line interface (CLI) for running Mercurial, and ${command} is a placeholder for the specific Mercurial command you want to run.

For example, if you want to use the clone command to create a local copy of a remote repository, the command would be:

hg clone <URL>

Here, <URL> is the URL of the remote repository. So, if you see hg ${command}, it implies that you need to replace ${command} with the actual Mercurial command you want to execute.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
