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]
However, it lacks some basic capabilities that exist in other revision-control browsers (e.g. Trac, Redmine) such as being able to compare different revisions of a folder or compare two folders (such as branches and tags). This is widely seen as a critical omission and vastly reduces Fisheye's usefulness as a tool for managing the software release process.[8]
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:[9]

Atlassian provides free licences of Fisheye and Crucible for open-source projects.[10]
Integration
As of 2010 Fisheye supported integration with the following revision control systems:[11]
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[12] via the Atlassian IDE Connector.
