The <code>all</code> command will let you perform (some) commands on <em>all</em> of your repositories, and provides a way of finding all of your repositories as well. There are some commands you might especially want to perform on every repository you've got, once in a while. <code> fossil all </code> includes four of the most likely as sub-commands: <code><a href="cmd_pull.wiki">pull</a></code>, <code><a href="cmd_push.wiki">push</a></code>, <code><a href="cmd_rebuild.wiki">rebuild</a></code> and <code><a href="cmd_sync.wiki">sync</a></code>. Follow the links to find out what each of those do, and then a moment of thought will tell you why you might want to have them available for all repositories. Certainly you'll want your repositories all rebuilt when you upgrade <b>fossil</b> after there has been a change in the repository ................................................................................ moving your repositories around. This is easy to do inadvertently if you have a cavalier attitude about repos, but you'll know pretty quickly that you've done it—many commands you try to use from inside of a checkout won't work correctly. The <i>.fossil</i> file is an <b>sqlite</b> db file which fossil uses to keeping track of repository locations.

Extra files are files that exist in a checked-out project, but don't belong to the repository. The <code>fossil extra</code> command will get you a list of these files. This is convenient for figuring out if you've <code> <a href="cmd_add.wiki">add</a></code>ed every file that needs to be in the repository before you do a commit. It will also tell you what will be removed if you <code><a href="cmd_clean.wiki">clean</a></code> the project. Suppose, for example, you have a "noodle.src" file as a scratch pad for source code, and you don't want to include your latest hare-brained ideas in the repository? You don't <code>add</code> it to the repository, of course—though there are ways you might add it unintentionally.

If you don't think this is all that useful, then you've never had to write a shell script that only affects project files and leaves everything else alone. ;) The <code>extra</code> command is almost, but not quite entirely, the exact opposite of the <code><a href="cmd_ls.wiki">ls</a></code> command.

<h2>new</h2> The <code>new</code> command allows you to create a brand new repository. Pragmatically, this means that an SQLite database is created with whatever name you specified, and set up with the appropriate tables and initial data. There's not much to <code>new</code>, it's what happens afterward that gets a project going: Once you have a new repository file, you need to create and cd to a directory in which you will store your files, or move into an existing directory which contains the files for a project. Then, you need to [./cmd_open.wiki | <code>open</code>] the new repository, and get the server running so you can set up the project name and so forth. Finally, you'll [./cmd_add.wiki | <code>add</code>] files to it. If you are adding exisiting files, you can add them individually, via globbing from the shell, or by adding the directory (which will add all of the directory's file-system descendants recursively.) But you can't do all that until you create a repository file with <code>new</code>.

<h2>update</h2> What do you do if you have changes out on a repository and you want them merged with your checkout? You use the <code>update</code> command, that's what. <b>fossil</b> can <a href="about_checkout.wiki">overwrite</a> any changes you've made to your checkout, or it can <a href="about_merge.wiki">merge</a> whatever changes have occurred in the repo into your checkout. Update <em>merges</em> changes from the repository into your checkout. <b>fossil</b> uses a simple conflict resolution strategy for merges: the latest change wins. Local intranet <code><a href="cmd_commit.wiki">commit</a></code>s (by someone else) or Net <code><a href="cmd_pull.wiki">pull</a></code>s from a server will usually require a <code>fossil update</code> afterward. Local commits are likely to be made with <a href="cmd_settings.wiki#autosync">automatic syncing</a> set to "on", however, so if you don't use <b>fossil</b> for Net-wide projects you may never have to use <code>update</code>.

* Any fossil command is acceptable once enough of it has been entered to make the intent unambiguous. 'clo' is a proper prefix of both the 'clone' and 'close' commands, for instance, but 'clon' is enough to make the intent—the 'clone' command—unambiguous. You should probably start interacting with fossil at the command line by asking it what it can do: <a name="tof">ᵻ</a> <code>$ fossil help</code><nowiki><pre> Usage: fossil help COMMAND.

There are links to individual pages for each of them; pages with content (not all of them are done) go into the command in a bit more depth than the program help. <pre> <a name="add">Usage: </a><code><a href="cmd_add.wiki">fossil add</a></code> FILE... <a href="#tof">ᵻ</a> Make arrangements to add one or more files to the current checkout at the next commit. <a name="all">Usage: </a><code><a href="cmd_all.wiki">fossil all</a></code> (list|pull|push|rebuild|sync) <a href="#tof">ᵻ</a> The ~/.fossil file records the location of all repositories for a user.

There are wikilinks to uncreated pages for the commands. This was created by running the fossil help for each command listed by running fossil help... Duplicate commands are only listed once (I <i>think</i>). There are several bits of <b>fossil</b> that are not addressed in the help for commands (special wiki directories, special users, etc.) so they are (currently) not addressed here.

* Any fossil command is acceptable once enough of it has been entered to make the intent unambiguous. 'clo' is a proper prefix of both the 'clone' and 'close' commands, for instance, but 'clon' is enough to make the intent—the 'clone' command—unambiguous. You should probably start interacting with fossil at the command line by asking it what it can do: <a name="tof">ˆ</a> <code>$ fossil help</code><nowiki><pre> Usage: fossil help COMMAND.

There are wikilinks to uncreated pages for the commands. This was created by running the fossil help for each command listed by running fossil help... Duplicate commands are only listed once (I <i>think</i>). There are several bits of <b>fossil</b> that are not addressed in the help for commands (special wiki directories, special users, etc.) so they are (currently) not addressed here.
