Can I use this skill with existing Git repositories?

Yes, Jujutsu is designed to be compatible with Git. This skill provides guidance on using jj as a frontend for your Git-backed projects, allowing you to use jj commands while maintaining Git interoperability.

Why use jj instead of Git with Claude Code?

Jujutsu (jj) offers a simpler mental model for AI assistants because it eliminates the staging area and provides a robust 'undo' command, making version control operations more predictable and recoverable.

How does jj handle 'staging' files?

Jujutsu does not have a staging area. Changes in your working copy are automatically part of the current change (@). You simply edit files and use 'jj describe' to set the message or 'jj commit' to finalize the work.

Is it possible to undo a mistake in jj?

Absolutely. One of jj's core strengths is the operation log. You can use 'jj undo' to revert almost any previous version control operation, including accidental rebases or commits.

Acerca de

This skill optimizes Claude's version control operations by prioritizing Jujutsu (jj) over Git, offering a streamlined approach to history management and commit workflows. It enables Claude to handle tasks like auto-tracking changes without a staging area, resolving conflicts via the operation log, and utilizing advanced revsets for precise history navigation. Ideal for developers working in jj-native or colocated Git/jj repositories, it provides a comprehensive bridge for translating Git commands and implementing modern version control patterns like auto-amending and operation undoing.
