A collection of scripts for working with the Fossil-SCM ticket system from the command line.

Fossil-SCM command line scripts

This is my collection of cli scripts for working with Fossil-SCM.

They are a little crude, but they work.

NOTE: All my Fossil repositories have an extension of .fsl. I know it's kinda the standard to use .fossil but I started working with Fossil and creating repositories before I learned about the "standard".

I symbolically link the Ticket scripts to the "$HOME/bin" directory. The files and the server scripts in the server directory are used for other things.

Short Descriptions:

Files

ticket-config: This is copied to the "$HOME/dev/FOSSIL/fossil-files" directory. scmenu uses it when it creates a new Fossil repository.

makelocalrepo.sh: This is the same as the "f" option in scmenu. I use it for testing sometimes.

Ticket scripts

fta: Fossil Ticket Add:
This will display a prompt for all the fields of a new ticket.

ftc: Fossil Ticket Close:
I do a ftso first, select the id of the ticket that will be closed, type ftc , paste the id and hit enter.

ftqa: Fossil Ticket Quick Add:
I use this when I am working through a tutorial of some kind (book, video, website etc.). It will just prompt for the Description and the Chapter and fill in all the other fields with defaults.

ftsa: Fossil Ticket Show All:
Show All Tickets.

ftso: Fossil Ticket Show Open:
Show only Open Tickets.

Server scripts

I have a server that runs Fossil as well. All the files located in the "\server" directory are used on that server. See the "rpi-rack" repo for an Ansible install of Fossil.

copyrepo.sh: There is an "upload" directory on the server. I move the repo from the FOSSIL directory to that directory, ssh into the server, run the copyrepo.sh (as sudo), then run scmenu on the local computer to re-connect it to the repo in the working project directory.

fossil.cgi: This is the cgi script I use on the server

rebuildall.sh: When Fossil-SCM has a new release, I will run this in the /var/www/fossils directory to update all the repos to the latest version.
