Adding and committing changes with fossil

Once you've created a repository, you want to add and edit files. The fossil add command adds a new file to a repository and the fossil commit command commits changes to the repository. This is different from Git in which the add command marks changes to be added and the commit command actually does the commit.

How to do it...

The next examples show how fossil behaves if you have not defined the EDITOR or VISUAL shell variables. If EDITOR or VISUAL are defined, fossil will use that editor instead of prompting you on the command line:

$ echo "example" >example.txt
    $ fossil add example.txt
    ADDED  example.txt

    $ fossil commit
    # Enter a commit message for this check-in. Lines beginning with #   
    are ignored.
    #
    # user: clif
    # tags: trunk 
    #
    # ADDED      example.txt

    $ echo "Line 2" >>example.txt
    $ fossil commit
    # Enter a commit message for this check-in. Lines beginning with #    
    are ignored...
