Fossil is a distributed version control system that includes source control management, bug-tracker, wiki, and forum in a single executable.

Fossil requires minimal configuration, is cross-platform, and includes a builtin web interface and server. The fossil web site pages are generated by an instance of Fossil itself.

Fossil is most notably used by the open-source software project SQLite, which was also created by Fossil's creator, D. Richard Hipp.

Getting Started

  1. Download the latest version of Fossil available for your platform.
  2. Read the Fossil Concepts and Fossil Quick Start Guide, and begin experimenting with Fossil.
