Sort of repeating a nested comment, but - I've been using fossil ( https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki ) for years and absolutely love it.
Single executable you just download and put in your path. Sane, well-documented interface (CLI, API and web). Full repo in a single SQLite file. Highly intelligent and efficient diff-based storage and compression (including network transfers). Rock-solid code. Easy exports to git/github.
I think it's kind of a tragedy the dev world got so stuck on git.

- QuadrupleA 2y agoMaybe just my present frustration, but I spent the day revising the Aider AI editor's code because it barely even works without git. It relies on git just to list the files in a directory, and so turns off most of it's cool features if there's no repo in it. I fixed it (PR coming) with some simple non-git directory traversal functions, which enables the cool features again. But makes me wish the dev world knew git alternatives exist.
