Fossil is a free, open-source configuration management tool that provides version control and storage capabilities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Fossil on OpenSUSE latest.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
Fossil package is available in the official OpenSUSE repository, use the below command to install it.
sudo zypper install fossil
Once installation is complete, you can verify the installation by checking the version of Fossil by running the following command.
fossil version
Once we have installed fossil, let's create a new fossil repository. Use below command to create the repository.
mkdir /tmp/myrepo
cd /tmp/myrepo
fossil init myrepo.fossil
Now that you have created a repository, it's time to add some files to the repository.
You can add files to the repository by running the following command.
fossil add file.txt
Now let's create a check-in. You can create a check-in by running the below command.
fossil commit -m "initial check-in"
Now that you have created your first check-in, you can view the repository history by running the below command.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Fossil on OpenSUSE latest and created a new repository, added some files, and performed the first check-in. We hope this tutorial has helped you get started with Fossil.
