    A couple things off the top of my head: - You aren't forced to resolve rebase/merge conflicts immediately. You can switch branches halfway through resolving conflicts and then come…

    jj is very flexible when it comes to workflow. One thing to note is that commits don't have to have messages. What I tend to do is to run `jj new` frequently while I work on someth…

    The issue is that you usually aren't buying the ebook. You are buying a license to access that ebook and they can revoke that license at any time. Maybe you're okay with that, but …
