I’m interested in looking at fossil SCM - not the built in web server, wiki, and issue tracking, but the auto sync and simplified interface appeal for personal projects, and maybe an embedded versioned file based CMS.

I've used git since it was first released to the public and recently I feel like I know less about it than ever before. I switched to fossil for personal projects around a year ago and haven't regretted it one bit!

I kind of went the other way as github/gitlab took off. I was using fossil for years because it was so self contained with issue tracking and everything, and it is great, but the lack of easy two-way interop with github had me gradually drop it for new projects, when I anticipate some level of other contributors. That being said, going from fossil->git via git-export is very simple and painless.

That reminds me of git-bug https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33730417

Basically issue tracking added to git repo directly

That being said my personal project are just push/pull/commit so I don't see the reason to change. Maybe some script to auto-push commits every hour or something but, well I have backups so that's not really required either
