<title>Fossil Tips And Usage Hints</title>

A collection of useful hints and tricks in no particular order:

  1.  Click on nodes of any timeline graph to see diffs between the two
      selected versions.
  1.  Click on two nodes of any timeline graph in succession
      to see a diff between the two versions.

  2.  Add the "--tk" option to "[/help?cmd=diff | fossil diff]" commands
      to get a pop-up
      window containing a complete side-by-side diff.  (NB:  The pop-up
      window is run as a separate Tcl/Tk process, so you will need to
      have Tcl/Tk installed on your machine for this to work.  Visit

      on line numbers.   This feature only works right with files with
      a mimetype of text/plain, of course.

  10.  When editing documentation to be checked in as managed files, you can
       preview what the documentation will look like by using the special
       "ckout" branch name in the "doc" URL while running "fossil ui".
       See the [./embeddeddoc.wiki | embedded documentation] for details.

  11.  Use the "[/help?cmd=ui|fossil ui /]" command to bring up a menu of
       all of your local Fossil repositories in your web browser.

  12.  If you have a bunch of Fossil repositories living on a remote machine
       that you are able to access using ssh using a command like
       "ssh login@remote", then you can bring up a user interface for all
       those remote repositories using the command:
       "[/help?cmd=ui|fossil ui login@remote:/]".  This works by tunneling
       all HTTP traffic through SSH to the remote machine.
