After my little rant about #Fossil a few days ago and some nice feedback from some users, I've decided to spend some time and give it a serious try.

I figured out that there is a way to emulate interactive commits. Also, I've installed and run a Fossil server.

Some pro take aways:



Fossil server is great. Single exe, just works and really fast


CLI commands are a bit more intuitive and less bloated


There is a vc-fossil package for #Emacs, fully integrating the workflow into vc-mode


There is an excellent VS Code plugin which natively integrates Fossil into VS Code's native source control panel and even emulates a staging area


The Fossil Web UI is super snappy and can fully replace the tooling I use on a daily basis


There is autosync which pushes to remote after very commit automatically and is so fast that I check every time if it really worked


Fossil git export is fast and can even be automated. I need to spend some more time on it but think it can serve as a bridge to Git-only deployment platforms

Great stuff.
