Fossil is a distributed version control system that has been widely |
|
4
|
used since 2007. Fossil was originally designed to support the |
|
5
|
[SQLite](https://sqlite.org) project but has been adopted by many other |
|
6
|
projects as well. |

If you are reading this on GitHub, then you are looking at a Git mirror |
|
11
|
of the self-hosting Fossil repository. The purpose of that mirror is to |
|
12
|
test and exercise Fossil's ability to export a Git mirror. Nobody much |
|
13
|
uses the GitHub mirror, except to verify that the mirror logic works. If |
|
14
|
you want to know more about Fossil, visit the official self-hosting site |

linked above. |
