Thank god there is Fossil [1] for the source code management (yes, management implies also making notes and documentation besides versioning) of my personal projects.

- samwillis 4y agoOther than SQLite, what other large projects (both closed and open source) are using Fossil? It seems to me to fix so many of the usability issues with Git, and is much more opinionated. I much prefer opinionated tools and frameworks, the fewer (unnecessary and trivial) decisions I have to make in life the better.
- smartmic 4y agoTcl/Tk are also some of the larger projects. But I guess the bulk are smaller and personal projects.
- nerdponx 4y agoFossil seems like it would be really useful for long-running internal projects at a company. But the problem is that you need to force people to learn Fossil instead of Git, and companies (perhaps rightly) don't want to pay people to fumble around with an unfamiliar system.
- LukeShu 4y agoLibreCMC used to use Fossil, until they got fed up with people complaining that it wasn't Git.
- gpanders 4y agoWhere do you host your fossil repos (or do you not centrally host them at all)?
- smartmic 4y agoI am self-hosting on a fairly cheap VPS. It is also possible to mirror on Github. And there is chiselapp.com
- chillfox 4y agoFossil is super easy to self host, so that what I do (on a MeLE fanless mini PC). But there's https://chiselapp.com/ https://chiselapp.com/ if you want a hosted solution. For CI I self host an instance of https://concourse-ci.org/ https://concourse-ci.org/
