Can I use jj with existing Git repositories?

Yes, you can initialize a colocated repository using 'jj git init --colocate' within an existing Git project to start using Jujutsu immediately without losing Git history.

Why is my Vite project slow when using jj?

Vite's file watcher often monitors the .jj metadata directory; excluding '**/.jj/**' in your vite.config.js server.watch.ignored settings usually resolves these performance issues.

How do I hide jj files from VS Code?

Add the .jj directory to the 'files.watcherExclude' and 'search.exclude' sections in your .vscode/settings.json to improve IDE performance and clean up search results.

Should I use the jj CLI or library for scripting?

Use the CLI for language-agnostic scripts and rapid prototyping, or the Rust library for high-performance, type-safe integrations if you are willing to manage breaking API changes.

What is Jujutsu (jj) colocation?

Colocation allows you to use both Jujutsu and Git in the same working directory, enabling access to Git-based tools and CI/CD pipelines while benefiting from jj's advanced features.
