Jujutsu (jj) Version Control Guide
Jujutsu is a modern, Git-compatible version control system. This project uses jj colocated with git.
Key Differences from Git
| Concept | Git | Jujutsu |
|---|---|---|
| Staging area | Explicit git add |
None - working copy IS a commit |
| Branches | Named refs | Bookmarks (auto-follow rewrites) |
| Stash | Separate stash stack | Not needed - just use commits |
| Amend | git commit --amend |
Just edit files, or use jj squash |
| Identity | Commit ID only | Change ID (stable) + Commit ID |
Essential Commands
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Status | jj status or jj st |
| Diff | jj diff |
| Log | jj log |
| Commit & continue | jj commit -m "message" |
| Update message | jj describe -m "message" |
| New empty commit | jj new |
| Squash into parent | jj squash |
| Undo last operation | jj undo |
| Fetch from remote | jj git fetch |
| Push to remote | jj git push |
| Create & push bookmark | jj git push --named name=@ |
| Push existing bookmark | jj git push --bookmark name |
Working Copy Model
The working copy (@) is always a commit. File changes are automatically tracked - no staging required.
parent commit
↓
@ (working copy) ← your edits go here automatically
