System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Detect the active version control system (jj or git) for the current project before running any VCS command to ensure the correct CLI is used.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects whether jj or git is present as the repo root tools, including handling colocated setups with both .jj/ and .git/ directories.
  • Uses a priority detection: first try 'jj root', then 'git rev-parse --show-toplevel', else report 'none' to indicate no VCS.
  • Provides a mapping guide so commands are run with the correct CLI depending on the detected VCS.
  • Works in colocated repos to prefer jj commands while keeping git available for compatibility.

Quick Start

Run the detection command to identify the VCS (jj or git) and then use the corresponding CLI.
