oopsie; should have added links.
`jj` is a wrapper around git and offers a much better dev-ex for managing changes.
it has features like:
- conflicts are first class citizens
- `rebase` is the default mode; there is no need for an interactive rebase mode.
- all descendant changes automatically rebase
- a much more intuitive version of `git reflog`. in `jj`, we have `jj op log`
- cheap branching: branches in `jj` are just tags (or bookmarks) that can be moved around
- d12bb 5mo ago> `jj` is a wrapper around git and offers a much better dev-ex for managing changes. You are mistaken there: Git is just one (of currently two) backend of the jj version control system. It’s far from being a wrapper.
- whereistejas 5mo agoJust because `jj` wraps around git doesn't mean it cannot have another backend. My comment doesn't imply that it only wraps around `git`. More importantly, the other backend which `jj` offers is (afaik) exclusively used at Google. Unless you are a Googler you will be using `jj` with `git`. Also, the comment was aimed at a person who is obviously very invested in `git`. I was doing my best to offer them a description of `jj` they could swallow. PS: pedantic people are annoying.
