These are beginner level complaints. 95% of interactions with git are simple and uneventful. And when they’re not, git offers a lot of flexibility. I’m curious if Fossil is as good as git at avoiding merge conflicts and rebasing. Most of the visualization problems are solved by a decent desktop client. And just try to find open issues on that Fossil project. That UI is absolute garbage. But hey, it’s going to save you 30 minutes on server installation, because you obviously have to do that every day. Oh and the Fossil community solution for automation? Mirror it to git
Most of the visualization problems are solved by a decent desktop client.
From article:
I am told that Git users commonly install third-party graphical viewers for Git, many of which do a better job of showing recent activity on the project. That is great, but these are still more third-party applications that must be installed and managed separately. Many are platform-specific. (One of the better ones, GitUp, only works on Mac, for example.) All require that you first sync your local repository then bring up their graphical interface on your desktop. And even with all that, I still cannot see what I typically want to see without multiple clicks. Checking on project status from a phone while away from the office is not an option.
Well the converse is also true. Desktop clients are way more powerful than that simple web UI. Maybe I’m not hardcore enough, but I’ve never had to check a commit successor in a graph view from a phone. And if you really do, you can install a different server. Gitea supports graph view. For simple checking on the project status github UI is more than serviceable
I understand you point of view, but honestly it will be good to have possibility to quickly check 'commit successor in a graph view from a phone.". I’m working with quite legacy systems (15-20yo) and sometimes, when I have some ideas about resolving some issues it will be good to quickly check backward and forward histories of commits around to verify something…
Thats not a dealbraker at all but it will be nice to have.
