I consider git the best software ever written. I used to work with some other SVCs, and I cannot thinking on leaving git now. Somehow, I feel it like a limitation for my mind.

I'm following this Jujutsu project, I'm genuinely curious to see what it can bring to the SVC scene.

Having worked with cvs and svn, git has been an absolute blast.

That said, the first thing I do now in a repo is jj init --colocate. The fact alone that there is an operation log in jj, so you can easily revert your last command, or go back to any point you want, is mind blowing coming from git and having experienced frantically digging through the reflog.

But that aside, the way to work with branches ahem bookmarks, commits, conflicts, just makes so much sense in a world where simultaneous feature branches are a thing.

Keep in mind that you still need to occasionally run jj commands, even in collocated repositories

Example: jj snapshots the working copy on any jj command but not any git command

It’s a leaky abstraction

Colocation is the default these days, by the way.
