Cloning a remote fossil repository

Because the fossil repository is contained in a single file, you can clone it simply by copying that file. You can send a fossil repository to another developer as an e-mail attachment, put it on a website, or copy it to a USB memory stick.

The fossil scrub command removes user and password information that the web server may require from the database. This step is recommended before you distribute copies of your repository.
