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

  • open-source
  • Ticketing
  • Cathedral-style coding isn't very Open-Source, if you believe the man who wrote the book and coined the term.
  • it's okay to post your own words instead of drunkenly jamming HTML into Markdown.

I like Markdown so I'm gonna use it
