  • I love love love that Fossil is a single executable.

    All in all, the version control wars have ended and git has won. Mercurial is another one I sort of wanna try just to see what it’s like.

    Re: rebasing, I think squashing / rebasing (in place of merging) is bad but I am also one of the few people I know who tries to make a good history with good commit messages prior to opening a pull request by using interactive rebasing. (This topic is confusing to talk about because I have to say “I don’t rebase, instead o rebase” which can be confusing.)


  • I think I looked into this before and it lacked a feature, but I don’t remember what it was. I might be getting it mixed up with another tool. There were a lot of tools that almost worked but were focused on making books with ordered pages rather than a tree. I think gitbook was one.

    For folks interested in following in my footsteps, eleventy didn’t fit because it couldn’t convert relative links to markdown files to relative HTML links to the HTML files (out of the box, probably possible with plugins).

    This just feels like such an obvious thing there would be a tool for but I can’t find one. Even most editors that render Markdown as a preview can do this out of the box.
