Fisheye is a revision-control browser[1] 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.[2] In addition to the advanced search[3] and diff capabilities,[4] it provides:

  • the notion of changelog and changesets[5] - even if the underlying version control system (such as CVS) does not support this
  • direct, resource-based URLs down to line-number level[6]
  • monitoring and user-level notifications via e-mail or RSS[7]

Use in open-source projects

Atlassian approves free licenses for community and open-source installations[2] under certain conditions. Many major open source projects use Fisheye to provide a front-end for the source code repository:[8]

Project Fisheye
JBoss https://source.jboss.org
Apache https://fisheye.apache.org/browse

Atlassian provides free licences of Fisheye and Crucible for open-source projects.[9]


Integration

As of 2010 Fisheye supported integration with the following revision control systems:[10]

Due to the resource-based URLs, it is possible to integrate Fisheye with different issue and bug tracking systems. It also provides a REST and XML-RPC API. Fisheye also integrates with IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA[11] via the Atlassian IDE Connector.
