version control - getting started with fossil -

i got started fossil. reasons selecting fossil are:

cross-platform single exectuable single repository file (typical extension .fossil) supposedly easy utilize (but aren't all?)

i have several questions. context: suppose want maintain track of changes every file within several directories, aptly named dir1, dir2, etc. suppose want maintain re-create on usb stick. suppose want maintain re-create on partition of same disc move , forth between linux , windows partitions. i'm user , may not have access internet.

i store dir1.fossil outside of dir1. can that? user-manual instructions tell me create dir1.fossil within dir1, , that's dir1.fossil created in setup. ideally i'd dir1.fossil, dir2.fossil, etc. files stored in directory, e.g. named fossilreposdir , located @ root. possible?

i stick usb flash drive laptop , push/pull repositories in plug-and-play manner.

if possible push/pull repositories across windows , linux partitions without using usb stick.

if setting much of headache (for poor head), resort simple copy-pasting of .fossil repositories , forth.

yes.

yes.

what want use? me, utilize dropbox hold repositories. every machine registered dropbox has access repositories.

// working directory cd ../dir1 // create repository somewhere else fossil new ../fossilreposdir/test.fsl // open remote repo in local working directory fossil open ../fossilreposdir/test.fsl test.fsl // add together files fossil addremove // commit fossil ci
