Alex Gleason (npub108p…yev6) Long story on why I switched. My friend kept telling to try it out, after about a year, i eventually bit and actually loved it.
- Allows for easy anonymous feedback. Includes forums and stuff
- ^^ Also part of the actual repo itself, so when you clone, you clone all wiki pages, forum posts, tickets etc... its a project manager, not a source code manager
- Lightweight and simple to use
- Uses SQLite3 for the entire repo (in fact, the sqlite3 devs created it for their project). This means you can simply drag the repo.fossil file to a usb drive as if it was a tar file
- Extremely simple to self host (Git is a BITCH in this regards)
- Good documentation
- Bundles everything into one executable, so works great on Windows and such.
- Designed to work against flaws that Git has and encourages.
- No need to add, commit, and push.... fossil commit, once added, its tracked forever and synced to the repo. You can change this behavior ofc.
- I like it.
Lots of other reasons too I like about it. There are some things Git does better but overall I'm impressed with Fossil. Google "fossil vs git" and there's a post on its Wiki
Its not the best for extremely large projects, like KDE or Firefox, but for smaller projects it works perfectly.
gone. COmmited suicide. /
