+<title>Up and running in 5 minutes as a single user</title>

+<h1>Up and running in 5 minutes as a single user</h1>
+
+This short document explains the main basic Fossil commands for a single
+user, i.e. with no additional users, with no need to synchronize with some remote
+repository, and no need for branching/forking.
+
+<h2>Create a new repository</h2>
+
+<tt>fossil new c:\test.repo</tt>
+
+This will create the new SQLite binary file that holds the repository, i.e.
+files, tickets, wiki, etc. It can be located anywhere, although it's considered
+best practice to keep it outside the work directory where you will work on files
+after they've been checked out of the repository.
+
+<h2>Open the repository</h2>
+
+<tt>cd c:\temp\test.fossil
+<br>
+fossil open c:\test.repo</tt>
+
+This will check out the last revision of all the files in the repository,
+if any, into the current work directory. In addition, it will create a binary
+file _FOSSIL_ to keep track of changes (on non-Windows systems it is called
+<tt>.fslckout</tt>).
+
+<h2>Add new files</h2>
+
+<tt>fossil add .</tt>
+
+To tell Fossil to add new files to the repository. The files aren't actually
+added until you run "<tt>fossil commit</tt>. When using ".", it tells Fossil
+to add all the files in the current directory recursively, i.e. including all
+the files in all the subdirectories.
+
+Note: To tell Fossil to ignore some extensions:
+
+<tt>fossil settings ignore-glob "*.o,*.obj,*.exe" --global</tt>
+
+<h2>Remove files that haven't been committed yet</h2>
+
+<tt>fossil delete myfile.c</tt>
+
+This will simply remove the item from the list of files that were previously
+added through "<tt>fossil add</tt>".
+
+<h2>Check current status</h2>
+
+<tt>fossil changes</tt>
+
+This shows the list of changes that have been done and will be committed the
+next time you run "<tt>fossil commit</tt>". It's a useful command to run before
+running "<tt>fossil commit</tt>" just to check that things are OK before proceeding.
+
+<h2>Commit changes</h2>
+
+To actually apply the pending changes to the repository, e.g. new files marked
+for addition, checked-out files that have been edited and must be checked-in,
+etc.
+
+<tt>fossil commit -m "Added stuff"</tt>
+
+If no file names are provided on the command-line then all changes will be checked in,
+otherwise just the listed file(s) will be checked in.
+
+<h2>Compare two revisions of a file</h2>
+
+If you wish to compare the last revision of a file and its checked out version
+in your work directory:
+
+<tt>fossil gdiff myfile.c</tt>
+
+If you wish to compare two different revisions of a file in the repository:
+
+<tt>fossil finfo myfile</tt>
+
+Note the first hash, which is the hash of the commit
+when the file was committed.
+
+<tt>fossil gdiff --from HASH#1 --to HASH#2 myfile.c</tt>
+
+<h2>Cancel changes and go back to previous revision</h2>
+
+<tt>fossil revert myfile.c</tt>
+
+Fossil does not prompt when reverting a file. It simply reminds the user about the
+"undo" command, just in case the revert was a mistake.
