# Integrated Fossil source control for Visual Studio Code

### Prerequisites

> This extension leverages your machine's Fossil installation,
so you need to
[install Fossil](https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/quickstart.wiki)
first. Also read the [cloning](/docs/cloning.md) documentation for info
about cloning from the extension.

(i.e. where git normally appears).

* Branch, merge, resolve files.

* Praise

* Quickly switch branches, push and pull via status bar.

* Automatic incoming/outgoing counters.

* Undo/Redo.

* Preview `md`, `wiki` and `pikchr` files

* Syntax highlighting for `pikchr` language

# How to

* **Checkout by hash?**

Use branch menu in the status bar.

* **Create a new branch?**

Create a branch with "Commit Creating New Branch..." action in SCM menu or in command palette.

* **Modify commit message?**

Use "Fossil log" from command palette and navigate the options till specific checkout.

* **Get current checkout hash or tags?**

Hover over current branch name in the status bar

* **Close/reopen a branch?**

Use 'Close branch...' and 'Reopen branch...' actions from command palette.

* **Commit partially**

1. Run `Stash Snapshot` command
2. Manually remove lines that you don't want in the commit
3. Make a commit
4. Run `Stash Pop`

* **Blame**

Use `Fossil: praise` command from command palette

# Settings

`fossil.autoRefresh { boolean }`

* Enables automatic refreshing of Source Control tab and badge counter
when files within the project change:
`"true"` — enabled
`"false"` — disabled, manual refresh still available.

`fossil.path { string }`

* Specifies an explicit `fossil` file path to use.
* This should only be used if `fossil` cannot be found automatically.
* The default behaviour is to search for `fossil` on the PATH.
* Takes effect immediately.

`fossil.username { string }`

* Specifies an explicit user to use for fossil commits.
* This should only be used if the user is different than the fossil default user.

# Troubleshooting

In general, Fossil designers maintain an abundance of
[documentation](https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/permutedindex.html).
Reference that documentation as much as possible.

| Issue | Resolution
--------|----------------------------------------------------------------
| Unknown certificate authority | Read the [Fossil SSL Documentation](https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/ssl.wiki#certs) to update fossil with the correct CA |
| inputBox prompt difficult to read | Run the same fossil command on the built-in terminal (Ctrl+`). Unfortunately VS Code strips newlines and tabs from inputBox prompts. |
