Jujutsu worktrees are convenient (2024)

So how is this different from git worktrees exactly ?

In git you can have only one worktree per branch. For example, if you have a worktree on main you cannot have another one on main.

I personally find this annoying. I usually like to keep one pristine and always current working copy of main (and develop if applicable) around for search and other analysis tasks[1]. Worktrees would be ideal and efficient but due to the mentioned restriction I have to either waste space for a separate clone or do some ugly workarounds to keep the worktree on the branch while not keeping it on the branch.

jujutsu workspace are much nicer in that regard.

[1] I know there are tons of ways search and analyze in git but over the years I found a pristine working copy to be the most versatile solution.
