I would like to introduce you lovely OpenSource Lovers to a GIT-Alternative called FOSSIL that I also stumbled upon.<br> 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 <u>self-hostable</u> & 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”<br> The person behind Fossil is the creator of SQLite, <u>Dr.Richard Hipp</u> & 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

Just check it out & use it for fun in your spare time even with the flaws it has (& Try out Darcs & Pijul as well)

      So GIT has a ticketting system, a Wiki, Bug-tracker built-into it along with a Version-tracker

      It also has a Sync All command (I’m sure Git also has it Somewhere) ??

        Why should git have a mediocre ticketing system instead of getting out of the way of dedicated ticketing systems?

        Small personal projects just need a text file with a Todo list, large organisations might need something super heavy weight like Jira. If your VCS has a ticketing system it’s going to be dead weight for a large chunk of users, because there’s no one-size fits all solution.
