## What it is
An unofficial Git mirror of the complete SQLite source code, a self-contained C library implementing an embedded SQL database engine supporting most of SQL-92. The official development happens in Fossil; this mirror exists for Git-based access and requires a small script to generate Fossil manifest files before building.

## Use cases
- embed a lightweight sql database in my application
- build sqlite from source using git
- browse sqlite source code history on github
- use an embedded database without running a server
- contribute to or study the sqlite codebase via git
- ship a zero-configuration database with a mobile or desktop app

## When to choose
- you need a proven, public-domain, serverless embedded SQL database
- you want to build SQLite from source via a Git clone
- you need a database engine that runs on virtually any platform including embedded devices

## When to avoid
- you need a client-server multi-user database like PostgreSQL or MySQL
- you want to submit pull requests - upstream does not accept them and development happens in Fossil
- you need official check-in names or the authoritative repository history

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database, database-driver, embedded
- domain: databases, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform, c, windows, embedded
- tags: sqlite, git-mirror, sql-database, public-domain, embedded-database, serverless-database, linux, macos
