I'm sure it's great but I don't have the problems with git that others apparently do, so as to make it worth switching to a whole new mental mode of source code management.
At least uv solved real problems I was having with Python package management, but for my own personal usage git is 99% aligned with what I need.
- steveklabnik 1y agoI didn’t have problems with git either. jj just makes all of the stuff I liked to do with git easier and faster, and lets me do some things you can’t do with git. But you should use the tools you want to use.
- BeetleB 1y agoJust FYI: The person you're responding to wrote a very popular tutorial on jj. He's been using git since the early days, and as he puts it: > Now I am not one of those "the git CLI is too complex and git is too hard to learn" people, but I do acknowledge that puts me in the minority. But let's reframe that: if we can make something more powerful and easier? Sign me up!
- mpyne 1y ago> Just FYI: The person you're responding to wrote a very popular tutorial on jj. That's nice. I know of him better from his Rust work, but he explained himself well enough in his own comment that he probably doesn't need your assistance to reiterate a point he made very effectively on his own. Also, he's not the only one who's used git since the early days.
- steveklabnik 1y agoI have no clue why you’re downvoted, I had upvoted you by the way.
- mpyne 1y agoThanks. I was pretty snarky, in fairness, though I felt it was only matching the energy of that type of white knighting (which a decade ago I feel pretty sure would have gotten you downvoted into oblivion even on HN, but maybe I'm not hip with the times anymore! lol)
