I would like to introduce you lovely OpenSource Lovers to a GIT-Alternative called FOSSIL that I also stumbled upon because of this Blog. 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
- Has built-in GUI
- Also has a Web-Server
- Self-Hostable like Gitea/Forgejo
& the best part it's all in ONE STANDALONE FILE!!! which is extremely lightweight which you can copy to your $PATH & works even in crappy internet. 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" The person behind Fossil is the creator of SQLite, Dr.Richard Hipp & they even made other projects to support Fossil like a PIC-Like language called PikChr Well just in case; here's a list of difference between Git vs Fossil & guess what!! they even have a hosting service called CHISEL
Listen; Just check it out & use it for fun in your spare time even with the flaws it has (& Try out Darcs & Pijul as well)
Again this applies to FOSS as a whole & nothing comes close to Oddball-ing as FOSS Back then it was SVN, now it's Git, what makes you think Fossil or Pijul won't replace Git ? Trends change & people usually take notice of lesser known things Well there's another term called "Niche"
It's easier to just stay on windows & BTW windows is working on their own proprietary VCS so yeah good luck with everything & all
Dude what are you on?
Fossil is 18 years old and I've heard of it once now despite being a software dev that whole run lol
A bizarre statement. I've only worked in two shops now where windows is used by devs. The reasoning practically every shop I've worked in uses mac: windows is a pain to develop on, and the IT department is afraid of supporting linux.
You HAVE to be trolling at this point.
