Funny timing of this post. This past weekend, I dedicated myself to creating a comprehensive set of tools for integrating Pijul seamlessly into Emacs. This includes collaboration features through org-mode, which I believe will be refreshing. I'm eager to share it with the community shortly. For fellow Emacs & Pijul enthusiasts, keep an eye out!

Git would make you merge or rebase, but yes there wouldn't be a conflict. They're saying Pijul would let you directly push without having to deal with the diverging histories.
Which tbh is a bad thing. Just because change a doesn't textually touch change b doesn't mean they don't interact. Unless your VCS is handling CI for integrating changes on push, you really need to pull down the upstream changes first and test them combined with your code before blindly pushing.
That seems like a very important point; how does pijul deal with such "effects at a distance"?

Isn't it more Pijul vs Git than Git_hub_? There's a massive git community/ecosystem that has nothing to do with Github (e.g. Linux kernel development, at least last I looked). I've dropped off Github for personal projects since it's trivial to run my own git repo and git version control is built into _everything_ by default, but there are definitely annoyances I've encountered while using git that sound like they wou…
Testing Git vs Pijul is hard unless you have other people to work with. I've wanted to use Pijul and other VCS tooling for ages, but it's pointless unless I can try with other contributers. So the hub does matter

> Can someone give me a real world example (person a makes X change, person b makes y change etc. etc.) that would work better in Pijul than Git? Simplified example: Persons A and B check out master branch. Person A adds a.txt, commits and pushes. Person B adds b.txt, commits and tries to push and... 1) git will not accept the push because it's not on top of current master branch, person B needs to fetch and merge/re…
> git will not accept the push because it's not on top of current master branch, person B needs to fetch and merge/rebase before pushing again. Hmm...that seems like a feature to me, not a bug. To me nothing of substance should happen in the repository, it should all happen in the local working directory. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Was going to say exactly this, though I do wonder if it's just me being too set in my thinking around how I think version control should work.

#46I seem to recall very positive comments regarding pijul's underlying architecture/theory. However, as I don't have the headspace to delve into it, I would love a blurb at the beginner level that highlights the benefits of using pijul compared to other VCS, and a very brief and simple comparison between pijul and git (focusing on the differences).
I think that whatever VCS come today, it will have a hard time finding a broad adoption use case that overweight the massive footprint of git ecosystem.

#47Is a git backend planned?

#48I like how Pijul has a math-centric approach under the hood. The name needs to be changed if they want to get traction.

Not intentional; I used vim 10 years ago, but have been an emacser with vim-bindings for the past 7 I guess :)
Re: Pijul is a free and open source (GPL2) distributed version control system
#50I used darcs before git and it was very nice - the first distributed RCS I'd ever used. I believe pijul is a follow-on to that so it should be great. Later on I used Mercurial and it was very easy with a great GUI and it felt safe. git is like shaving with a straight shaving razor - alarming until you've developed your set of frequently used commands and ways to stay out of trouble. Even I have to use git because who…

Git compatibility is a great way around this problem. I have been enjoying Jujutsu lately.
