Fossil
A Coherent Software Configuration Management System
Fossil is a distributed version control system that bundles bug tracking, wiki, forum, chat, and a built-in web interface into a single self-contained executable. It stores repository data in an SQLite database for reliability and supports HTTPS/SSH networking. The entire project website runs as a live Fossil instance, and cloning the repo includes the full site content.
A single executable binary manages distributed version control, bug tracking, wiki, forum, and a built-in web UI, storing all data atomically in an SQLite database.
