FishEye (software)
Fisheye is a revision-control browser and search engine owned by Atlassian, Inc. Although Fisheye is a commercial product, it is freely available to open source projects and non-profit institutions. In addition to the advanced search and diff capabilities, it provides:
- the notion of changelog and changesets - even if the underlying version control system does not support this
- direct, resource-based URLs down to line-number level
- monitoring and user-level notifications via e-mail or RSS
Use in open-source projects
Atlassian approves free licenses for community and open-source installations under certain conditions. Many major open source projects use Fisheye to provide a front-end for the source code repository:| Project | Fisheye |
