Jujutsu ¶

Jujutsu is a version control system—works on top of git.

• jj git init to create new repository
• jj new to start on a new change
• jj describe to add a comment to the change
• jj st to look at the status
• jj new to start another change
• jj log to view the repository’s contents
• jj split -i split the change down

Squash Workflow ¶

• jj new an empty change
• jj desc to describe what this change will be
• jj new another new empty change on top of that
• we now make our changes
• jj squash to move the changes from the @ to the empty parent we made when we started the change
  • jj squash -i for interactive

Edit Workflow ¶

• jj new an empty change
• jj desc to describe what this change will be
• we now make our changes
• repeat from start with jj new if we’re happy with the change
• or perhaps we want another change before the current one
• jj new -B @ -m "the change before the current one"
• make the change here which will be before the @
• jj next --edit
