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:

@abcdw I've been using #jujutsu for the last few weeks. The fact that it's using #git as a backend so other people don't have to convert is great.

The main benefit I see is that it's so easy to rebase and move around in your changes. Still learning though!

@futurile Yeah, the git backend is huge.

True, the way it works in darcs/pijul/jujutsu make so much more sense to me.

Another cool thing is that all the files are always tracked even if you never committed them.

You use it through CLI/GUI?
