SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create isolated jj workspaces to test changes, run experiments in parallel, and explore alternative implementations without impacting the main workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create dedicated workspaces for each experimental path to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Run long-running builds/tests in parallel across multiple workspaces without blocking others.
  • Compare results between approaches using shared history and separate work trees.

Quick Start

Create an isolated experiment workspace using jj workspace add --name=<experiment-name> work/<directory-name> to start testing changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about jj-workspace-experiments

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create isolated jj workspaces to run parallel experiments?▼

To create isolated jj workspaces for parallel experiments, use the command jj workspace add --name=<experiment-name> work/<directory-name> to generate a separate work tree sharing repository history.

What is the best way to test breaking changes without affecting the main workspace?▼

Testing breaking changes without affecting the main workspace involves creating dedicated jj workspaces to isolate modifications, preventing cross-contamination while evaluating alternative implementations using shared history.

Can I run long-running builds and tests in parallel using jj workspaces?▼

You can run long-running builds and tests in parallel across multiple jj workspaces, allowing concurrent operations to execute without blocking other workflows in the main repository.

How do I compare different implementation approaches using isolated workspaces?▼

Comparing implementation approaches using isolated workspaces involves creating separate work trees for each path, allowing you to evaluate results side-by-side while leveraging the shared repository history.

What happens to jj workspaces after finishing an experiment?▼

After finishing an experiment, jj workspaces can be forgotten or merged back, allowing you to clean up isolated work trees while preserving the shared repository history established during testing.
