Will I lose my submodule data when using jj?

No, Jujutsu preserves submodule data, though it cannot currently display or modify submodule contents natively.

What is the best way to add a new submodule in jj?

The recommended approach is to use the 'git submodule add' command in a colocated repository, which jj will then recognize as a change to the .gitmodules file.

How do I fix rebase errors involving submodules?

If you encounter a checkout failure during a rebase, use 'jj undo' and attempt the operation by keeping submodule changes in a separate, isolated commit.

Does Jujutsu support submodules natively?

Not yet. Native support is currently a planned feature, but this skill provides the necessary workarounds to manage them safely in the meantime.

Provides specialized workflows and workarounds for managing Git submodules within the Jujutsu (jj) version control system.

Since native submodule support is currently in development for Jujutsu (jj), this skill acts as an essential guide for developers needing to maintain submodules without data loss. It provides specific strategies for manual setup, cloning submodules as independent jj repositories, and managing colocated environments where both jj and Git commands are used. By offering shell helper functions and troubleshooting steps for common rebase errors, this skill ensures a stable development experience when bridging the gap between traditional Git submodules and modern Jujutsu workflows.
