To add some detail here. The features it offers (tickets, wiki, chat, forums, etc) are stored within the repo, unlike github or gitlab where those things may be separate.

Basically, if you have the repo and the fossil binary you have everything. Is this better? I never saw a lot of advantages in my style of work, but i could see this being huge for someone who has intermittent connectivity. Or maybe someone who wants to use the ticket tracking, etc without setting up a separate server or public instance.

I just love that fossil exists and there is a diversity of opinion on how things can work.
