What is Jujutsu (jj)?

Jujutsu is a Git-compatible version control system that eliminates the staging area and treats the working directory as a continuous commit for a simpler developer experience.

How does Jujutsu handle the Git 'staging' process?

Jujutsu eliminates the staging area entirely; changes are automatically recorded in the current working copy commit (@), which is continuously updated.
