It would be especially useful to review the manual pages or any documentation on the following resources:

• ls(1) - description of what the command does

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. In short they are very useful. -c will create well -f specifies the name of the archive file.

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'

After executing 'hg push' you will then use the command 'hg pull' which will pull the files

After 'hg pull' it will prompt you to then update the repo by using the command 'hg update'
