What is a Jujutsu (jj) workspace?

A workspace in Jujutsu is similar to a Git worktree, allowing you to have multiple versions of the same repository checked out in different directories simultaneously for parallel development.

Why use isolated workspaces instead of standard branches?

Workspaces allow you to maintain distinct working states (including uncommitted changes) in different folders, eliminating the need to stash changes or perform complex context switches.

Does this skill handle workspace cleanup?

Yes, it provides instructions to use jj workspace forget and manual directory removal once your work is committed and pushed to keep your environment clean.

Do I need direnv installed to use this skill?

While the skill supports direnv for automatic environment loading, it provides a fallback command to manually source the .envrc file if direnv is not available.

How does this skill support the GitHub CLI?

It automatically configures the GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables within the workspace, ensuring that 'gh' and other Git-dependent tools recognize the repository structure.

Manages isolated Jujutsu (jj) workspaces and bookmarks to enable seamless parallel development within a single repository.

The JJ Workspace Manager skill streamlines the management of parallel workstreams in the Jujutsu version control system by automating the creation and configuration of isolated workspaces. It allows developers to quickly switch contexts by setting up dedicated directories, configuring environment variables for tool compatibility—such as the GitHub (gh) CLI—and initializing bookmarks. This skill is ideal for developers who need to work on multiple features or bug fixes simultaneously without the overhead of git stashing or frequent branch switching, ensuring a clean and organized development environment.
