How can I use fossil (DVCS) in a home environment?

Question

I\'m trying fossil as my new VCS, since I\'m a lone developer working on small projects. I started testing fossil but I encountered a (probably major newbie) problem. How do

Answer 1

According to this fossil ticket, cloning, pushing and pulling require a fossil server to be running. You can't just use the repo, you'll have to start a server, then refer to http://localhost/whatever and you should be golden.

1. Run fossil server in the original repository
2. Go to the destination directory and run fossil clone http://localhost:8080 (or push or pull)
