Comment on Darcs, Friendly Version Controlparent

Comments

I've been using Fossil for personal projects and love it. It's maybe best to think of Fossil as GitHub in a box. Fossil comes with a server that includes tickets, a wiki, and a live chat space in addition to the version control. I work on my phone on the bus, start the server (`fossil server`) in Termux when I get home, and then access that on my computer.

The project is super well put together. It's so refreshing compared to the dumpster fire that is git. The commands make sense, the documentation (if even necessary) makes sense, and the code of Fossil itself is easy to compile and hack on.

The community is nice, too. I really appreciate Dr. Hipp's approach to software.
