Jujutsu (jj) Quick Reference

Jujutsu (jj) Quick Reference

Use jj instead of git for all version control operations.

Key Concepts

• No staging area - Files are automatically tracked. Just edit and commit.
• @ = working copy (current change)
• @- = parent of working copy
• Changes auto-amend - Editing files updates the current change automatically
• jj new = Start a new empty change (like starting fresh work)
• jj commit = Finalize current change with a message and start a new one
