# Testimonials
|
||||
|
||||
You might not be ready to make the jump to Jujutsu yet. It's understandable; new
|
||||
tools come with new lessons, failures, and ideas to absorb. They require
|
||||
practice. In order to provide some motivation, we've collected a number of real,
|
||||
100% authentic testimonials — from our loving users, our silly developers
|
||||
— all to tip the scales and get you on our side!
|
||||
|
||||
## What the users have to say
|
||||
|
||||
> I've spent many years of my career working on version control. What I like
|
||||
> most about Jujutsu is how it has non-obvious solutions to UX problems that
|
||||
> we've run into in the past. What most people may not realize is that there are
|
||||
> many novel features which all interlock to make it easy to use.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> For example, consider Jujutsu's support for automatically rebasing descendants
|
||||
> of amended revisions. When we implemented that in Mercurial, we ran into an
|
||||
> issue: what if there's a merge conflict? Our solution was to warn users and
|
||||
> just not perform the auto-rebase. Now, suddenly, users have to understand that
|
||||
> there can be old versions of the same revision visible in their log, and learn
|
||||
> how to fix this state.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> In contrast, Jujutsu's solution is to simply make merge conflicts first-class.
|
||||
> This is not just an improvement in general, it is also specifically an
|
||||
> improvement for auto-rebase — users no longer have to learn about old
|
||||
> versions of a revision unless they want to look at the obslog.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Over and over, I'm struck by how well Jujutsu demonstrates this kind of
|
||||
> evolved thinking, which as an experienced version control developer I deeply
|
||||
> appreciate.
|
||||
|
||||
— Rain, engineer at Oxide Computer Company, former VCS developer
|
||||
|
||||
> Jujutsu is amazing... I couldn't have come up with anything remotely as
|
||||
> elegant.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> It's so rare that a solution attacks the innermost core of a problem so
|
||||
> thoroughly, I genuinely feel blessed to be in its presence. And also a bit
|
||||
> vindicated in not even trying to learn to use any of the tools that felt like
|
||||
> more crutches stacked upon a sand castle
|
||||
|
||||
— Anonymous user, speaking from the shadows
|
||||
|
||||
> It's the easiest time I've ever had learning a tool this deeply this quickly,
|
||||
> because of the ability to experiment and undo, instead of triple-checking
|
||||
> before trying a new scary command.
|
||||
|
||||
— Scott Olson, advanced Git user and now a Jujutsu user
|
||||
|
||||
> I initially started to use Jujutsu for personal repos, and it has quickly
|
||||
> gone from "neat, let's try this more" to "very neat, added to my permanent
|
||||
> config and automatically installed for new machines".
|
||||
|
||||
— Poliorcetics, on GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
> when i worked on the rust compiler, my job was to chain together a bunch of
|
||||
> strange and cursed tools that broke often. jujutsu breaks about half as
|
||||
> much, so that's pretty good i guess
|
||||
|
||||
— jyn514, Rust contributor
|
||||
|
||||
> Jujutsu is pretty cool, you can even keep most of your existing workflows
|
||||
|
||||
— Ben, who doesn't want you keeping your existing workflow
|
||||
|
||||
> Wait, it's not called Jujitsu?
|
||||
|
||||
— Phil, Mercurial contributor (who doesn't have to learn Git, now that
|
||||
Jujutsu exists)
|
||||
|
||||
> When I heard about Jujutsu I decided to try it out before forming an opinion.
|
||||
> Technically it never formed, because I haven't considered going back.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
## What the developers have to say
|
||||
|
||||
> I've been a FOSS contributor using Git for over 16 years, and Jujutsu
|
||||
> continues to amaze me every day. It has that sweet simplicity I was fond of in
|
||||
> Darcs, but it boils down all my most core and fundamental workflows —
|
||||
> developed over years of experience — into a simple set of primitives.
|
||||
> The internal design is simple and beautiful; it looks like a database, making
|
||||
> the implementation elegant, safe, and extensible. All this, using the same Git
|
||||
> repositories my coworkers use.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> It's like if you found out one day that you built your entire home on a vein
|
||||
> of rich gold. Every day I seem to find new and beautiful emergent behaviors,
|
||||
> all adding up to a tool that is greater than the sum of its parts.
|
||||
|
||||
— Austin Seipp, "No 1. Jujutsu Fan"
|
||||
|
||||
> Honestly, I implemented signing support mostly for that sweet dopamine hit
|
||||
> that you get from the green checkmark on GitHub. Yeah.
|
||||
|
||||
— Anton Bulakh, contributor and dopamine enthusiast
|
||||
|
||||
> I'm sometimes still surprised that navigating with `jj next` and `jj prev`
|
||||
> works.
|
||||
|
||||
— Philip Metzger, author of `jj next` and `jj prev`
|
||||
|
||||
> I'm surprised when it works.
|
||||
|
||||
— Martin von Zweigbergk, project creator and leader

## Spread the word yourself
|
||||
|
||||
Are you satisfied with Jujutsu? Ready to recommend it to a Jujillion of your
|
||||
friends and coworkers? Great! The easiest way to help the project grow is word
|
||||
of mouth. So make sure to talk to them about it and show off your hip new tool.
|
||||
Maybe post a link to it on your other favorite tool that you love using, Slack?
|
||||
|
||||
If you're not sure what to say, we hired the cheapest marketing team we could
|
||||
find to design a list of Pre-Approved Endorsements in their laboratory. Just
|
||||
copy and paste these right into a text box! Shilling for an open source project
|
||||
has never been easier than this.
|
||||
|
||||
> Jujutsu is an alright tool. I guess.
|
||||
|
||||
> Jujutsu is my favorite software tool of all time. I am saying this for no
|
||||
> particular reason, definitely not because I was paid to.
|
||||
|
||||
> I love Jujutsu. I love Jujutsu. I love Jujutsu. I love Jujutsu. I love
|
||||
> Jujutsu. I love Jujutsu. I love Jujutsu. I love Jujutsu.
