Yes, I do, because git is nearly unusable without github.com or similar, whereas /usr/bin/fossil is perfectly usable as-is. :) I’m only joking^Wserious. :) > github.com is to Git what > chiselapp.com is to Fossil -- a hosting solution (one of many, in case > of Git). github.com is far more than a hosting service. It provides a whole pile of things that don’t exist in /usr/bin/git or /usr/libexec/git-core/*: https://github.com/features And yes, I already know that not all of those things are in Fossil or ChiselApp, but many of them are, and many of the things you only get in Github Enterprise *are* in stock Fossil. >> You can keep it all in house and the configuration couldn't be >> easier... > > You can "keep it all in house" using any contemporary VCS. But you can’t keep Github in house without buying Github Enterprise, at $21/user/month, minimum 10 users, so $2,520 per year entry cost. If you want any of the features common to Github/GHE and Fossil, and you want to host it privately, you’re looking at GHE or one of its complicated competitors. For example, here’s GitLab’s setup guide for CentOS: https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/#centos7 Compare Fossil: unpack, make && sudo make install. No matter how you slice it, Git is more complex than Fossil, compared feature-for-feature. Git only has advantages where it has a feature that you need that is missing in Fossil. Many of us don’t need the extras Git provides, like subrepositories, rebase, etc. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
