[Unreleased]
Breaking changes
-
Open commits are now disabled by default. That means that
jj checkout
will always create a new change on top of the specified commit and will let you edit that in the working copy. Setui.enable-open-commits = true
to restore the old behavior and let us know that you did so we know how many people prefer the workflow with open commits. -
jj [op] undo
andjj op restore
used to take the operation to undo or restore to as an argument to-o/--operation
. It is now a positional argument instead (i.e.jj undo -o abc123
is now writtenjj undo abc123
). -
An alias that is not configured as a string list (e.g.
my-status = "status"
instead ofmy-status = ["status"]
) is now an error instead of a warning. -
(#250)
jj log
now defaults to showing only commits that are not on any remote branches (plus their closest commit on the remote branch for context). Usejj log -r 'all()'
for the old behavior. Read more about revsets here. -
jj new
now always checks out the new commit (used to be only if the parent was@
). -
When the working-copy commit is abandoned by
jj abandon
and the parent commit is open, a new working-copy commit will be created on top (the open parent commit used to get checked out). -
(#330)
jj branch
now uses subcommands likejj branch create
andjj branch forget
instead of options likejj branch --forget
. -
The
$NO_COLOR
environment variable no longer overrides theui.color
configuration if explicitly set. -
jj edit
has been renamed tojj touchup
, andjj edit
is now a new command with different behavior. The newjj edit
lets you edit a commit in the working copy, even if the specified commit is closed. -
jj git push
no longer aborts if you attempt to push an open commit (but it now aborts if a commit does not have a description). -
jj git push
now pushes only branches pointing to the@
by default. Use--all
to push all branches.
New features
-
jj rebase
now accepts a--branch/-b <revision>
argument, which can be used instead of-r
or-s
to specify which commits to rebase. It will rebase the whole branch, relative to the destination. The default mode has changed from-r @
to-b @
. -
The new
jj print
command prints the contents of a file in a revision. -
(#243) The new
jj git remotes list
command lists the configured remotes and their URLs. -
jj move
andjj squash
now lets you limit the set of changes to move by specifying paths on the command line (in addition to the--interactive
mode). For example, usejj move --to @-- foo
to move the changes to file (or directory)foo
in the working copy to the grandparent commit. -
jj split
now lets you specify on the CLI which paths to include in the first commit. The interactive diff-editing is not started when you do that. -
Sparse checkouts are now supported. In fact, all working copies are now "sparse", only to different degrees. Use the
jj sparse
command to manage the paths included in the sparse checkout. -
Configuration is now also read from
~/.jjconfig.toml
. -
The
$JJ_CONFIG
environment variable can now point to a directory. If it does, all files in the directory will be read, in alphabetical order. -
The
$VISUAL
environment is now respected and overrides$EDITOR
. The newui.editor
config has higher priority than both of them. There is also a new$JJ_EDITOR
environment variable, which has even higher priority than the config. -
You can now use
-
and+
in revset symbols. You used to have to quote branch names likemy-feature
in nested quotes (outer layer for your shell) likejj co '"my-feature"'
. The quoting is no longer needed. -
The new revset function
connected(x)
is the same asx:x
. -
The new revset function
roots(x)
finds commits in the set that are not descendants of other commits in the set. -
ssh-agent is now detected even if
$SSH_AGENT_PID
is not set (as long as$SSH_AUTH_SOCK
is set). This should help at least macOS users where ssh-agent is launched by default and only$SSH_AUTH_SOCK
is set. -
When importing from a git, any commits that are no longer referenced on the git side will now be abandoned on the jj side as well. That means that
jj git fetch
will now abandon unreferenced commits and rebase any local changes you had on top. -
jj git push
gained a--change <revision>
argument. When that's used, it will create a branch named after the revision's change ID, so you don't have to create a branch yourself. By default, the branch name will start withpush-
, but this can be overridden by thepush.branch-prefix
config setting. -
jj git push
now aborts if you attempt to push a commit without a description or with the placeholder "(no name/email configured)" values for author/committer. -
Diff editor command arguments can now be specified by config file. Example:
[merge-tools.kdiff3] program = "kdiff3" edit-args = ["--merge", "--cs", "CreateBakFiles=0"]
-
jj branch
can accept any number of branches to update, rather than just one. -
Aliases can now call other aliases.
-
jj log
now accepts a--reversed
option, which will show older commits first. -
jj obslog
now accepts-p
/--patch
option, which will show the diff compared to the previous version of the change. -
The "(no name/email configured)" placeholder value for name/email will now be replaced if once you modify a commit after having configured your name/email.
-
Color setting can now be overridden by
--color=always|never|auto
option. -
jj checkout
now lets you specify a description with--message/-m
.
Fixed bugs
-
When rebasing a conflict where one side modified a file and the other side deleted it, we no longer automatically resolve it in favor of the modified content (this was a regression from commit
c0ae4b16e8
). -
Errors are now printed to stderr (they used to be printed to stdout).
-
Updating the working copy to a commit where a file's executable bit changed but the contents was the same used to lead to a crash. That has now been fixed.
-
If one side of a merge modified a directory and the other side deleted it, it used to be considered a conflict. The same was true if both sides added a directory with different files in. They are now merged as if the missing directory had been empty.
-
When using
jj move
to move part of a commit into an ancestor, any branches pointing to the source commit used to be left on a hidden intermediate commit. They are now correctly updated. -
jj untrack
now requires at least one path (allowing no arguments was a UX bug). -
jj rebase
now requires at least one destination (allowing no arguments was a UX bug). -
jj restore --to <rev>
now restores from the working copy (it used to restore from the working copy's parent). -
You now get a proper error message instead of a crash when
$EDITOR
doesn't exist or exits with an error. -
Global arguments, such as
--at-op=<operation>
, can now be passed before an alias. -
Fixed relative path to the current directory in output to be
.
instead of empty string. -
When adding a new workspace, the parent of the current workspace's current checkout will be checked out. That was always the intent, but the root commit was accidentally checked out instead.
-
When checking out a commit, the previous commit is no longer abandoned if it has a non-empty description.
-
When using
jj move/squash/unsquash
results in the source commit becoming empty, it is no longer abandoned if it is checked out (in any workspace). -
All commands now consistently snapshot the working copy (it was missing from e.g.
jj undo
andjj merge
before).
[0.4.0] - 2022-04-02
Breaking changes
- Dropped support for config in
~/.jjconfig
. Your configuration is now read from<config dir>/jj/config.toml
, where<config dir>
is${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}
or~/.config/
on Linux,~/Library/Application Support/
on macOS, and~\AppData\Roaming\
on Windows.
New features
-
You can now set an environment variable called
$JJ_CONFIG
to a path to a config file. That will then be read instead of your regular config file. This is mostly intended for testing and scripts. -
The standard
$NO_COLOR
environment variable is now respected. -
jj new
now lets you specify a description with--message/-m
. -
When you check out a commit, the old commit no longer automatically gets abandoned if it's empty and has descendants, it only gets abandoned if it's empty and does not have descendants.
-
(#111) When undoing an earlier operation, any new commits on top of commits from the undone operation will be rebased away. For example, let's say you rebase commit A so it becomes a new commit A', and then you create commit B on top of A'. If you now undo the rebase operation, commit B will be rebased to be on top of A instead. The same logic is used if the repo was modified by concurrent operations (so if one operation added B on top of A, and one operation rebased A as A', then B would be automatically rebased on top of A'). See #111 for more examples.
-
jj log
now accepts-p
/--patch
option.
Fixed bugs
-
Fixed crash on
jj init --git-repo=.
(it almost always crashed). -
When sharing the working copy with a Git repo, the automatic importing and exporting (sometimes?) didn't happen on Windows.
