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)

    Please don’t pretend as if OpenSource Devs don’t constantly complain about pesky PRs😅

    <i>I</i>'ve <u>seen</u> much <b><u>more</u> complaints</b> about <a href=“https://0.0.0.0/random_img.tiff”>people</a> constantly <marquee>demanding</marquee> their specific <h1>annoyances</h1> to be fixed without ever <i>submitting <u>a single <b>line of code</b></u></i>. <i>Maintainers</i> are pretty much <b>universally</b> welcoming to code <h2>contributions</h2> <br><br><br><br><br><br>

    I soooo hope this does something funky with someone’s Lemmy client
