When I create a new fossil repo, go into =fossil_dir=, where I keep them, and use the following template to create a new one.
fossil new --project-name "=project_name=" --project-desc "=project_description=" =fossil_repo_name=.fossil
Go ahead and set a new password while we’re here…
fossil ui =fossil_repo_name=.fossil
…and to start using, go to the empty directory where it will live and:
fossil open =fossil_dir==fossil_repo_name=.fossil
