I began using Jujutsu as my VCS about 2 months ago. Considering most of my work is on solo projects, I love the extra flexibility and speed of being able to safely fixup recent commits. I also love not having to wrangle the index, stashes, and merges.

`lazyjj` [1] makes it easier to navigate around the change log (aka commit history) with single keypresses. The only workflow it's currently missing for me is `split`.

For the times when I have had to push to a shared git repo, I used the same technique mentioned in the article to prevent making changes to other developer's commits [2].

It's been a seamless transition for me, and I intend to use Jujutsu for years.

Check out jjui - it is VASTLY better, and the dev is extremely open and responsive to feature requests.

What makes it extremely better?


Far more commands/shortcuts, capabilities etc... Just try the various tools out. I am not aware of anything that comes close.


Hey! I'm the author of lazyjj, let me know if you are missing any features in it!
