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)
Yeah it's the cathedral-style, Opensource but closed contributions as in no PRs
Which is not really open now is it.
You'll actually have to talk to the devs to be included in the project This VCS favours a more horizontal organization where the devs know each other (so A high-trust environment)
Please don't pretend as if OpenSource Devs don't constantly complain about pesky PRs😅
I've seen much more complaints about people constantly demanding their specific annoyances to be fixed without ever submitting a single line of code. Maintainers are pretty much universally welcoming to code contributions
I soooo hope this does something funky with someone's Lemmy client
