> fossil itself is an SQLite database

Can anyone explain what this means and how it works?

Fossil itself is a C binary, not a database. Maybe they meant that Fossil’s source code is hosted in Fossil, or that Fossil repositories are SQLite files? I don’t exactly know either.

They are talking about this fossil: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki
