Here are some of the tips, tricks, guidelines, and recommendations I’ve learned so far for using Jujutsu well. For more background, see the previous post, what I’ve learned from jj. I’m using “commit” and “change” interchangeably here. Remember that a jj change is durable and evolves over time, while the underlying commit associated with a change might be different. Workflows # Use jj new everywhere unless you really mean to change something in place.

I recently started using the Jujutsu version control system, and it’s changed how I think about working with code. As someone who’s been using git for nearly two decades, it’s refreshing to gain new perspectives on my daily work and get a sense of what might be possible in the future. Working with git has been great, especially in contrast to what came before. But despite years of development, it still has sharp edges and presents a steep learning curve.
