Ah, I use `jj` on WSL every day, so I was confused at first, but that's because I don't share the drive there any more. That absolutely makes sense as a blocker

Ah, I use `jj` on WSL every day, so I was confused at first, but that's because I don't share the drive there any more. That absolutely makes sense as a blocker. The autocrlf bit is a bit of a bummer on Windows, too. > Another relatively minor inconvenience is its inability to use your SSH configs. This should be much better as of last week's release, when you can say "please use git as a subprocess rather than libgit2/gix".

  It’s just a tough spot to be in: libgit2 has always worked a bit differently than the binaries, gix is incomplete. Ideally gix will be good enough that it could just be used, but things aren’t there yet.

    Yeah, completely understood. I've suffered from related SSH issues, so I get the motivation. I suppose it's just unfortunate that the supporting libraries aren't quite there yet.

      This kind of thing is why jj started with a strong library vs binary split; folks will be able to use the library and have full compatibility with other tools.

I got introduced to jj via Chris Krycho's post on it, but working my way through your tutorial [1] is what made me feel like I understand it enough to actively use in real projects, and also convinced me that jj is the way forward. So, thank you for that! > The autocrlf bit is a bit of a bummer on Windows, too. autocrlf is always a bit of mess, to be fair, even when using git. There's never a single good setting because some projects do, for whatever reason, use CRLF for their line endings. (I recently spent 15+ minutes going through my git config and editor config and carefully making sense of things, trying to see why there were spurious line ending changes in my commit, before realizing this project I was contributing to used a mix of LF and CRLF endings in different files!)
