Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
About Fossil Fossil is a distributed version control system that has been widely used since 2007. Fossil was originally designed to support the SQLite project but has been adopted by many other projects as well. Fossil is self-hosting at https://fossil-scm.org. If you are reading this on GitHub, then you are looking at a Git mirror of the self-hosting Fossil repository.

If you want to know more about Fossil, visit the official self-hosting site linked above.
