What is the equivalent of a Git branch in Jujutsu?

Bookmarks are the Jujutsu equivalent of Git branches. However, they are treated as names for specific revisions rather than an active state that follows your work automatically.

How do I fix the 'Nothing changed' error when pushing in Jujutsu?

This usually happens because no bookmark is pointing to your new revisions. Use 'jj git push --change ' to automatically create a bookmark or 'jj bookmark set' before pushing.

Why didn't my jj bookmark move after I made a new commit?

Unlike Git branches, Jujutsu bookmarks are manual pointers and do not move automatically. You must use 'jj bookmark move ' to update the pointer to your new commit.

Can I push all my bookmarks at once in jj?

Yes, you can use 'jj git push --all' to push all bookmarks that have local changes to their tracked remotes.

How do I delete a remote branch using Jujutsu?

To delete a remote bookmark, use the command 'jj git push --bookmark --delete', which synchronizes the deletion with your Git remote.
