Git is complex software. One needs an installer of some kind to put Git on a developer workstation, or to upgrade to a newer version of Git. Setting up a Git server is non-trivial. One could use GitHub, but that introduces another third-party dependency and a centralized service, which mitigate the key advantage of Git which is that it is "distributed". There are various free alternatives to GitHub, such as GitLab, but those too require a lot of dependences and a lot of server setup. <p> In contrast, Fossil is a single standalone binary which one installs by placing it to $PATH. That one binary contains all the functionality of core Git and also GitHub or GitLab. It manages a community server with wiki and bug tracking, provides packaged downloads for consumers, login managements, and so forth, |
