For the use case of this post, revision/version control of notes (markdown/text), I recently started using Fossil [0].

I've wanted a reason to use Fossil for quite some time, and this is perfect since I'm the only user for this repository; Fossil is ideal for small groups of people and git is ideal for projects with thousands of contributors.

I'm just using VS Code with a Fossil extension and storing the notes as .md files in the repo. You could use the built-in wiki to store them, but that would give you less flexibility and less of the features of a source control.

Although I'm not yet, I could integrate some other features into my workflow like bug tracking, forum (to talk to myself and hold conversations over time to center myself where I left off), and technotes. I love the web-interface.

The only configuration I needed from stock was to turn on the search feature, change the home page to be my root document (README.md) and set it up to run as a daemon with systemd.
