An archive is a single file that contains many file making it much easier for to move a bunch of files instead of moving them one at a time. It will effectively keep copies of your files in one place. They can also be compressed to reduce the overall size.

After creating a file that you want to be tracked, you will run the command: 'hg add'

After adding any untracked files you will run the command 'hg commit -m “sample text” ' which will save any changes made

After running 'hg commit -m' you will need to push the changes by executing 'hg push'
