I would like to introduce you lovely OpenSource Lovers to a GIT-Alternative called FOSSIL that I also stumbled upon. 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 self-hostable & 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" 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 here's a difference between Git vs Fossil & they even have a hosting service called CHISEL
fossil is made by the sqlite devs, for development of sqlite. this is not some amateur operation.
also, it's by the sqlite people, so expect the code to be... odd.
& The code behind Linux isn't ? People back then did some REAL sorcery with coding
back then? both codebases are fully modern. its more that sqlite uses a style that differs from the accepted norm quite a bit. that, and they don't accept contributions.
Yeah it's the cathedral-style, Opensource but closed contributions as in no PRs
Which is not really open now is it.
