FOSSIL(1) User Commands FOSSIL(1) NAME fossil - Distributed Version Control System SYNOPSIS fossil help fossil help COMMAND fossil COMMAND [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION Fossil is a distributed version control system (DVCS) with built-in forum, wiki, ticket tracker, CGI/HTTP interface, and HTTP server. Common COMMANDs: add cherrypick grep push sync addremove clean help rebuild tag all clone info remote timeline amend commit init repack tree annotate dbstat ls revert ui bisect delete merge rm undo blame describe merge-base settings unversioned branch diff mv sql update cat extras open ssl-config version changes finfo patch stash xdiff chat gdiff pull status FEATURES Features as described on the fossil home page. 1. Integrated Bug Tracking, Wiki, Forum, and Technotes - In addition to doing distributed version control like Git and Mercurial, Fossil also supports bug tracking, wiki, forum, and technotes. 2. Built-in Web Interface - Fossil has a built-in and intuitive web inter- face that promotes project situational awareness. Type "fossil ui" and Fossil automatically opens a web browser to a page that shows detailed graphical history and status information on that project. 3. Self-Contained - Fossil is a single self-contained stand-alone exe- cutable. To install, simply download a precompiled binary for Linux, Mac, OpenBSD, or Windows and put it on your $PATH. Easy-to-compile source code is available for users on other platforms. 4. Simple Networking - No custom protocols or TCP ports. Fossil uses plain old HTTP (or HTTPS or SSH) for all network communications, so it works fine from behind restrictive firewalls, including proxies. The protocol is bandwidth efficient to the point that Fossil can be used comfortably over dial-up or over the exceedingly slow Wifi on air- liners. 5. CGI/SCGI Enabled - No server is required, but if you want to set one up, Fossil supports four easy server configurations. 6. Autosync - Fossil supports "autosync" mode which helps to keep projects moving forward by reducing the amount of needless forking and merg- ing often associated with distributed projects. 7. Robust & Reliable - Fossil stores content using an enduring file format in an SQLite database so that transactions are atomic even if inter- rupted by a power loss or system crash. Automatic self-checks verify that all aspects of the repository are consistent prior to each com- mit. 8. Free and Open-Source - Uses the 2-clause BSD license.
