jj-fzf

I find JJ to make things much easier for me than Git: - No staging needed, edit your commit directly in your working directory - Rebasing is automatic, I regularly edit historic commits and the messages - jj absorb will automatically split and merge hunks into related ancestry commits - Defer conflict resolution; many conflicts are resolved later by splitting/squashing/moving commits/hunks further (possible only for first-class conflicts) - No interactive rebase needed, since jj commands automatically rebase while editing historic commits, it feels like constantly living within an interactive rebase - Easily refer to the same revision (change) across rebase commands by using a jj change_id, without scribbling down Git commit hashes that change across a rebase - Easily undo (+redo) your last commands through the jj operation log without ha

AFAIK there is no polished standalone frontend for jj yet. https://github.com/gulbanana/gg comes closest but I ran into some quirks when using it on git compatible/colocated repos. Someone has made a VSCode plugin but it's closed source and I believe it will be paid at some point? https://www.visualjj.com/ If you are willing to use a TUI, jj-fzf (https://github.com/tim-janik/jj-fzf) has been wonderful and development is extremely active too. I exclusively use git through the GUI, but the jj CLI improves so much over the git CLI that I'm willing to live with the CLI for now. Still hoping that the GUIs become more polished though, and also for Inteliij IDEA integration.

For a quick impression, the jj-fzf README has a number of screencasts that showcase tasks easily accomplished with jj (using fzf to preview the jj log and key bindings to invoke jj commands): https://github.com/tim-janik/jj-fzf?tab=readme-ov-file#split... (Another self-promotion)
