Steve wrote this in a very approachable style. It is the first time I really understood what 'jj' is about. I'm actually kind of excited to start using this tool with my git repos.

Thanks so much!

Just want to point out that this hasn’t been updated in a minute, and in particular, you’ll get some messages about branches being bookmarks now: https://github.com/steveklabnik/jujutsu-tutorial/pull/34

I have started on a second iteration of the tutorial in private, and am gonna see if I can get it in shape this weekend.

Happy to answer questions about jj!

No surprises there. Steve has always been a great writer.

One of my favorite people talking about my single favorite tool of the past 3+ years. Up there with (above, really) zellij and helix for changing my daily life.

Jujutsu is terrible in my opinion. people hate the index, but I think they just dont get it. to me a commit is something that is ready to push, and the index is for stuff that is done but not ready to push. just because I wrote one line that I am happy with, doesn't mean I am ready to commit and push that. I prefer to add stuff thats done, then when enough is done I can commit and push. if you remove the index it makes it too easy to push half done stuff

I like jj because I like git's index so much. JJ lets me do what git's index does, but in a much more powerful way.

What you do is, you treat @ like the index, and you work on @-. This is the "squash workflow" https://steveklabnik.github.io/jujutsu-tutorial/real-world-w...
