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
What about git needs replacement?
It doesn't have remote/server capabilities for one
I must be missing whan you mean by remote/server since pull, fetch, push... All interact with remote copies of the repo.
Isn't that by design? I believe the intention was to offload that capability to an existing solution, usually ssh.
Yeah & for that we have to deal withe Dependency hell Look at the size of Fossil & compare
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.
What? Since when has ssh been a negative? Regardless of VC if you work on remote machines you need SSH, fullstop. I won't take you seriously if you think otherwise sorry.
Not sure what that means. Never once heard of git being a problem or large in size. Further, it's extremely widely supported.
