It has a sane ui/syntax, all the additional infrastructure you might want is built in (webpage, wiki, forum, tickets) and is trivial to set up. It is nearly the perfect version control system. Especially for the small independent amateur developer.
Awesome. Does it have any sort of CI/CD capabilities? And do you have any recommendations for learning resources for someone to get started?
For getting started there is the quick start guide https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/quickstart.wiki and after that the built in help gets you pretty far. Really, most distributed version control systems have the same workflow the devil is in the exact syntax used.
As for CI there are pre-commit hooks I suspect could be used for that process. https://fossil-scm.org/home/help/hook and https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/hooks.md
