#jj — Public Fediverse posts

Like many devs, I've been using #git for years.
I was then introduced to #jj and happily used it instead for month.

I came back to #git because some colleague's history shenanigans made #jj cry and I did not want to fight the tool.

And now, I realize I'm perfectly happy with #git anyway.
Because the issue has never been #git, it has always been us not following our own conventions.

Both #git and #jj are great tools.
We just suck at using them.

Also, I made a new #jujutsu #jj #vcs convert, so that ain't nothin'. It's good, you should try it!

I dream of the day where a forum post about a new #jj release doesn't constantly draw commenters complaining that they've tried it and don't get it.

This got me thinking it'd be worth writing this down: https://offby1.website/posts/how-i-jujutsu-bookmark-advance.html

tl;dr, this is how I have set up `jj bookmark advance`

#jj #jujutsu #toolsharpening

The overview page is working. But I just implemented diffs on the commit pages!

The diff itself is powered by @mitsuhiko similar but I also had to do a bit jj plumbing to get the files in the first place.

#devlog #jj

#TIL: #jj #jujutsu grew a `bookmark advance` this past spring. Very cross I didn't even know about it until just now, given I only started using it this summer…

Now glad I didn't even bother setting up the "usual" 'tug' alias!

Only recently started using #Codeberg.
It seems the website is down, but I was able to push the commits.
So couldn't check in the website.
But can see in a #forgejo #Android client named #gitnex . Thankfully I Installed it out of curiosity.
Any other ways u people use to check on ur repo while the official page is down?

Btw, Do the downtime sometimes will affect and won't let me push too? 🤔

#git #jj

Decided to go with jj. The library was a bit confusing at first but I think I understand how to use it now.

Hi All
Guide me please 😅
I'm using GitHub all these days to store files. I plan to move my files to open source platforms like codeberg,gitea etc. But I want a mirror of my codeberg like repo in GitHub etc, just as a backup.
2 ways I can think of:
1) Pushing to 2 remotes from my local
2) Mirroring one repo completely in another platform
Want ur opinion on these or any other methods I'm unaware of.

Ah, the riveting saga of the "git #history command" – because we all know what our lives were missing was a deep dive into #command #line history 🤯. Apparently, after a year and a half of trying to escape the clutches of "git" for "jj," our hero runs back to "git" faster than you can say "merge #conflict." 🙄🔄

Trying #jj, pretty hard to change 10+ years of habits from git. A lot of the commands seem more straightforward thought, I'm liking it.

Just tried difftastic and it's really cool.
https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/

The diffs are really helpful to be honest. A small but impactful improvement in workflow.
In my jj config, I used difftastic as the default diff tool. Thanks to home manager I already got an option to just to my jj config🙂.

#difftastic
#nix #homemanager #jj #config #diff #tool #git

Any such tool recommendations are welcome 😊
Thanks in advance

The JuJutsu VCS gives me planning superpowers!

Here is how I use its revisions and flexible workflow to plan my work ahead and keep track of my progress.

Started messing with #jujutsu #jj. Has some very neat ideas as expected.

Git interop is a little clunky still, though hopefully I just haven't discovered quite the right commands ("new technology, tutorials are outdated the moment they're published" problems…)

Eg, a rapid fire "fuck, why is my CI/CD not workin right" workflow. In Git, having already done a 'checkout mybranch' that morning:

- git commit -m 'lmao'
- git push

In jj, because you're never "on" a branch:

- jj commit -m 'lmao' (or have done a 'describe' earlier, and do a 'new' now)
- jj bookmark advance mybranch --to @-
- jj git push --bookmark mybranch

Over and over! Obviously I could shell alias this, but.

Dear #git / #jujutsu / #jj / #lazygit #lazyweb (pun not intended?),

I am gently interested in trying out `jj` sometime, but have invested /significant/ muscle memory in the lazygit TUI (which is flippin' awesome). Has anyone made that /specific/ transition successfully?

Eg,
- did you go back to fully shell-driven SCM actions using `jj`? (because jj is just that good?)
- did you switch to a more editor-plugin-focused workflow? (because one was on offer? btw I use vim)
- did you use lazygit+jj clones/etc like lazyjj (https://github.com/Cretezy/lazyjj)? (which looks non-slop but otherwise haven't tried yet)
- mystery fourth option?

#BoostsWelcome

Using #jjvcs on my repo made me realise, that the blocker was not all the bugs, but the fact that rebasing/merging/keeping consistent commits is a massive PITA with git. Call it a skill issue, but I love how every nightmarish operation is solved in 2-3 commands with jj.

#jj #jjvcs #jj_vcs

My favourite new word at work is #prefactor as in, "Hey #claude Please prefactor the ugly code in this business logic feature change PR so that it is easier to read?"

The refactoring lands in a preparatory PR and everyone gets to review a much easier to understand business logic change follow-up PR.

I suspect the flow would get even nicer if I could find time to skill-up with claude on #jj (or possibly even better #SaplingSCM - since reviews are still the biggest bottleneck)

I’ve been using Jujutsu to manage my git repositories for a few weeks now, and I am not looking back. Ever.

When I code, I feel Git always gets in the way, slowing me down, adding such mental burden. JJ can be used alongside any of your git repos, and makes the version control UX a breeze.
