I would like to introduce you lovely OpenSource Lovers to a GIT-Alternative called FOSSIL that I also stumbled upon.<br> It’s basically opensource Github-in-a-box which means it’s an SCM with:

  • Bug-tracker
  • Ticketting-system
  • Forum
  • Wiki-system
  • even a Chat-functionality

& It’s also <u>self-hostable</u> & the best part it’s all in ONE STANDALONE FILE!!! how cool is that

However this tool supports a completely different style of development in FOSS called the “Cathedral-Style” whereas GIT suports a “Bazaar-Style”<br> The person behind Fossil is the creator of SQLite, <u>Dr.Richard Hipp</u> & they even made other projects to support Fossil like a PIC-Like language called PikChr

Well here’s a difference between Git vs Fossil & they even have a hosting service called CHISEL

Just check it out & use it for fun in your spare time even with the flaws it has (& Try out Darcs & Pijul as well)

    Do you live in a world where storage is expensive or rare? Because I more or less forgot the meaning of deleting files.

    Also git does support the git protocol as a server if you really need it.

      The last time I checked Just because storage is cheap doesn’t give you the excuse to create unomptimized garbage All GIT does is versioning, Fossil comparitively has more features that Git should have but doesn’t

          What are these “Valid Critiques” ? You don’t mean “Why should I try out Fossil when I’m used to Git”

            I use plane for my personal project ticketing and git is built into all my IDE. Why make it harder because of a random Foss project with opinions.
