I have added repository and at the time of commit I get error as 

error:  abort: no username supplied (see "hg help config")

I am not getting Mercurial.ini file on my local as well. Does anyone know how I can resolve this error on Fedora?

Either put a hgrc in the .hg directory in your repo or put a .hgrc (hgrc for Windows) file in your home dir (then it covers all your projects) In the file you should write 

[ui]
username = Your Name <your@mail>
