I much prefer fossil to git in almost every metric. I use fossil for all my stuff. Much easier to use, imo, and provides a lot of useful features out of the box.
Caveat: I'm not a dev.
- livrem 3y agoI used it for all my hobby projects created in the last three years. I still use Git for everything else. Fossil is nice. I can't imagine using it in a big project with many developers, but it was never designed for that. As long as Fossil is around I will probably keep using it for all my projects. I still push some code to GitHub to share with others. They do not have to know that I use a simpler tool for development.
- account-5 3y agoYeah I like that it can export, so to speak, to git. I think it should be ok for bigger projects, I mean sqlite uses it, but I've no knowledge about whether it's considered big or not other than Sqlite being on every device (more or less).
- zellyn 3y agoI've spent ages trying to get an RSS feed for changes to a particular file (on the main branch) out of fossil. I can't tell if I'm misunderstanding some fundamental organizing principle, or if RSS feeds from searches/filtered paths is just so far off the important path that it's missing functionality. Help appreciated! Sadly, though, realizing it got iffy when you strayed from the well-trodden path hurt my opinion of fossil a bit. [Edit] My use case is that I ported pikchr (and lemon) to Go and want to be able to notice changes to both. Like everything from the SQLite folks, pikchr is amazing.
