I like it but the problem is everyone else already knows git and everything integrates with git.

It is very easy to self host.

Not having staging is awkward at first but works well once you get used to it.

I prefer it for personal projects. In think its better for small teams if people are willing to adjust but have not had enough opportunities to try it.

Is it possible to commit individual files, or specific lines, without a staging area? I guess this might be against Fossil's ethos, and you're supposed to just commit everything every time?

  • Yes you can list specific files, but you have to list them all in the commit command.

    I think the ethos is to discourage it.

    It does not seem to be possible to commit just specific lines.
