Initialize a Fossil repo. Make sure you are in your home directory (~) first (or wherever you want the checkout directory to be)
fossilize _reponame_
This creates a repository - /Users/Shared/FOSSIL/reponame.fossil and a checkout directory called reponame, with all it's contents added to the repository. If the initial checkout directory already exists its contents will be added and committed to the repository. An optional icon will be added to the checkout directory. An alternative repository location can be specified using the -r option (see 'fossilize -h')
-k KiCad Repo - prefilled with useful (empty) directories for use with KiCad EDA (Electronic design) -i with Fossil file icon on directory
Remember the setup username & password!!!!
Fossilize will prompt for setting up users and access permissions via the web interface at 8080 and then open a webpage at http://127.0.0.1:8080/_reponame_
The project can be named here and other settings adjusted.
Updating the repository with locally added files should be confirmed with
- fossil status - Checks current settings
- fossil extra - Sees if there are any files that have not been added to the repository.
- fossil addremove - Adds and removes recursively all the files in the checkout directory
- fossil update - Gets latest version from server
- fossil commit (-m "Commit message") - Writes the changes to the repository and triggers an autosync.
On remote machine
Best to keep cloned repositories in central location /Users/Shared/FOSSIL (like server) or possibly in ~/FOSSIL/ Need to clone the repository from the server with appropriate credentials
fossil clone http:// username_:_password@imac.local:8888/ reponame newreponame
This produces a new local repository which is autosynced with original repository on iMac.
Now you need to prepare the new checkout directory. Make a new folder (or mkdir newdirectory) and cd into it. Now open the repository in this directory.
fossil open /Users/Shared/FOSSIL/reponame
or
fossil open ../FOSSIL/reponame
The previous commands all work i.e.
fossil status - Checks current settings fossil extra - Sees if there are any files that have not been added to the repository. fossil addremove - Adds and removes recursively all the files in the checkout directory fossil update - Gets latest version from server fossil commit (-m "Commit message") - Writes the changes to the repository and triggers an autosync.
This will work either way around - i.e initial repo on either desktop or laptop.
