By this point this is probably the fourth jj tutorial I have read. I haven't dabbled in it (yet), but this appears to be one of the straighter ones. Meaning not a lot of fluff, a well thought out ordering of lessons and well suited for people who come from git.

One thing I miss is the whole pull/push workflow, but for the rest this appears to be a very good resource.

Thanks for this link. I've been using jj for 2 years now. Whenever people ask me why, it's hard to explain. I'll have to keep this in my pocket for the future.

Not directly related, but has pijul been getting any traction ?

In a normal git workflow you have others working on files as well. You can pull their or push your versions via one or more remotes.

Maybe I am mistaken, but the only remote stuff I have read in this article was the clone command in the beginning. Maybe I missed it?

Edit: Nevermind I did miss it.

Glad you discovered that you were missing this. Jj can do essentially anything git can.

Check out jjui - it makes it all that much more simple.
