Gitless. I'm a fan of software that allows you to get your feet wet with simple concepts and progressively add complex ones when you feel you're ready. Gitless was my introduction to git.

Thank you. I've just run through a jj tutorial and it indeed mirrors my mental model of commits, just like gitless did. I'm sure I'll become a fan!
