Should I Switch From Git to Jujutsu

Jujutsu is a new version control system that is backward-compatible with Git. All the cool kids are raving about it. In this article I will try to help you decide whether it’s worth investigating. If you use git rebase, the answer to this article’s question is probably yes. You will mostly likely love Jujutsu. Proceed to Part Two. Do not pass Go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. If you don’t use git rebase, you might still enjoy Jujutsu, but you might wonder, why would I care about all this fancy stuff? All I do with Git is commit and occasionally sync with main… what more could I possibly want?

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.

Day one impressions on #Jujutsu

🚀 Jumping in is fine and does not break git -- if you accept to live in detached HEAD off main
🚀 Working in a amend-oriented flow is simpler with jj
🚀 rebasing is a breeze
🚀 It’s fun to push branch B while editing branch A - no hassle checking out stuff
🚀 Saying goodbye to stashes is cool too
🚀 There is an emacs mode 😍

But...
💥 I find the jj log is a little messy - I know it can be cleaned
💥 Farewell pre-commit hooks
💥 Muscle memory is resilient...

Trying out #Jujutsu 😎

So far, I like the general philosophy. I just miss the pre-commit hooks (I know about jj fix, but it’s not the same), and I still got to get my head round some stuff that break a decades-long culture of doing version control.

Help, I've forgotten how to Git!

JJ is nice though.

@simon I much prefer #Jujutsu #jjvcs to Git. I feel the flow is nicer: the working copy is always « on » a commit so running jj edit / jj new snapshots (commits) then moves.

I’ve had relative success with agents with light instructions. YMMV, N=1, yada.
