Commit is a version control operation that sends the changes in the working files to the local repository.

When you select the Commit command, the first thing that happens is File > Save All. Then the Commit pane is displayed in the Code Editor window. The Commit pane is composed of two sections. The upper section lists all the files you can select to commit (unchanged files are not listed). The lower section is an entry field for your comments. To select a file to commit, select the check box in front of the file name. If the check box in front of a file is not selected, the file is ignored.

Item	Description
Commit to: Location	Displays information about the files to be committed and their location in the system, including: Name Path Ext (extension, such as .pas or .cpp) Status (Modified, Added or Unversioned) If you right-click a file in the Commit to: Location field, you can select from the following context menu commands: Difference Performs a diff (comparison) between the selected local working file and the repository version of the file. Revert Reverts the most recent change in the selected file. Add (Only shown if the file is unversioned) Adds the file to the commit.

Push Your Changes to the Remote Mercurial Repository

To push your local changes from your local repository to the remote repository, you need to do it outside the IDE.

To push your local changes to a remote repository:

1. Open the command-line tool.
2. Navigate to the local folder for your repository.
3. Type the following command:

   hg push

   hg push [URL]

4. If it needs authentication, insert a user name and a password.
