The [[Development#Revision control systems / code repositories|version control]] software Fossil keeps its per-user configuration in a file called ".fossil" (with nothing before the dot; something there indicates a [[Fossil repository database]]) in the user's home directory. Unusually, this is not a structured [[text]] file, but rather a [[SQLite]] database, although this is to be expected, given Fossil's love for it.
