I wanted to try darcs and pijul vcs for quite sometime, but never had enough motivation, because it completely new ecosystems with different tooling.

Recently I learned about Jujutsu, which reuses fundamental ideas of darcs, but uses git as a storage backend, so I can use it with existing projects and tools.

I found a demo, and it is pretty neat and makes so much sense:

Jujutsu docs

Day one has ended and I am still shyly tip-toeing my way through the #jj commands.

You really gotta unplug your old habits and join a whole new VC paradigm.

As a nushell / zellij / emacs user, #JuJutsu is one more tool in my one-of-a-kind dev combo.

Now looking for a thorough #jujutsu cheatsheet... Anyone out there using it? #jj #jujutsu_version_control
@TheyCallMeHacked Avec plaisir.
J'ai déjà un gros talk de prêt mais c'est vraiment sur #git .
Mais je peux ne faire un sur #jj aussi si besoin.
@NuclearSquid
@NuclearSquid #JJ, contrairement à #git, a une command absorb.
Tu connais forcément squash qui va mettre ton code dans le commit précédent.
Et bien absorb va regarder tes changements et les distribuer dans les différents commits de ta branche, si ça a du sens, et te laisser ceux qui reste à faire à la main.
Absorb est une sorte de squash+rebase sous stéroïdes.
Et c'est très pratique.
