I would like to introduce you lovely OpenSource Lovers to a GIT-Alternative called FOSSIL that I also stumbled upon. It's basically opensource Github-in-a-box which means it's an SCM with:
- Bug-tracker
- Ticketting-system
- Forum
- Wiki-system
- even a Chat-functionality
& It's also self-hostable & the best part it's all in ONE STANDALONE FILE!!! how cool is that
However this tool supports a completely different style of development in FOSS called the "Cathedral-Style" whereas GIT suports a "Bazaar-Style" The person behind Fossil is the creator of SQLite, Dr.Richard Hipp & they even made other projects to support Fossil like a PIC-Like language called PikChr
Well here's a difference between Git vs Fossil & they even have a hosting service called CHISEL
Just check it out & use it for fun in your spare time even with the flaws it has (& Try out Darcs & Pijul as well)
"NIH"?
I think "Not Invented Here". Meaning he wants to build everything himself from scratch despite there being alternatives he can use instead.
E.g.: Building your own httprequest library rather than using the existing one which is good enough.
With that attitude maybe we shouldn't invent at all Why not go all the way
I think you're reacting to the wrong person as I didn't make the NIH claim, but merely explained its meaning. :)
No worries man Also according to the creator of Fossil he WANTS Git to have the features that Fossil has He WANTS people to fork his creation, if the like to & Fossil uses SQLite to store data
