I don't know how much more clearer I have to rule on this. It's the exact same thing. (lemmy.ml)

i have an obligation to say this: i prefer fossil

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

I actually used Mercurial for many years until Git became ubiquitious.

I adore Fossil as well. Having simple tools like a wiki and tickets built into each repo is rad.

I love the idea of Fossil -- tools like a wiki, issue tracker, automatic synchronization, all built in, plus the more resilient on-disk format, are features Git should've had from the get-go (no pun intended), and having everything, web server to CLI wrapped up in a single binary is an extremely cool way to do it.

I want to switch to it, I really do, but git commit --amend is just not something that I am prepared to live without
