using-jj-instead-of-git

What problem does it solve?

Teams working in Git often struggle with complex workflows, interrupted operations, and confusing commands. This Skill standardizes all version control tasks on Jujutsu (jj), providing a simpler mental model, automatic file tracking, and powerful undo/operation history while remaining Git-compatible.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Git-to-jj Command Mapping: Clear equivalents for init, clone, status, commit, amend, branching (bookmarks), merge, rebase, cherry-pick, push/fetch, and revert.
• Safer History Editing: Use jj's squash, split, diffedit, and operation log/undo to adjust changes without destructive resets.
• Remote Interop: Push/fetch to Git remotes and manage bookmarks instead of branches, preserving compatibility.
• Use Case: Replace a team's daily git workflow (status, commit, amend, branch, rebase, push) with jj commands, reducing context switches and avoiding add/staging pitfalls.

Quick Start

Ask to convert your intended git action into the jj equivalent and run it using jj for the same outcome.
