I wonder if something is ever going to overtake git as the mainstream source control. I honestly agree with everything, git is so verbose and makes it easy to break something. The commands also have bizarre names that makes doing something specific annoying. The git docs are also a giant wall of text, just yesterday someone posted this.. I really want to try something else but it feels like there's no point because nobody would support or understand it.

Until then I guess I'll keep doing git status, git add *, git commit -m "some stuff", git push until something breaks.

These are beginner level complaints. 95% of interactions with git are simple and uneventful. And when they're not, git offers a lot of flexibility. I'm curious if Fossil is as good as git at avoiding merge conflicts and rebasing. Most of the visualization problems are solved by a decent desktop client. And just try to find open issues on that Fossil project. That UI is absolute garbage. But hey, it's going to save you 30 minutes on server installation, because you obviously have to do that every day. Oh and the Fossil community solution for automation? Mirror it to git

This is the first I've ever heard of Fossil, and it honestly seems really interesting! Having the executable be both the local CLI for working on the repo and the server for providing the whole GitHub-esque suite of services in a trivially self-hostable fashion is kind of galaxy brain.
