-<p>Each of the target revisions is rebased onto the parents of the root(s) of
-the target revset (not to be confused with the repo root). The children of
-the head(s) of the target revset are rebased onto the target revisions.</p>
-<p>The target revset is the union of the <code>revisions</code> arguments and must satisfy
-several conditions, otherwise the command will fail.</p>
-<ol>
-<li>The heads of the target revset must have either the same children as the
-   other heads or none.</li>
-<li>The roots of the target revset have the same parents.</li>
-<li>The parents of all target revisions except the roots must also be
-   parallelized. This means that the target revisions must be connected.</li>
-</ol>
+<p>The command effectively says "these revisions are actually independent",
+meaning that they should no longer be ancestors/descendants of each other.
+However, revisions outside the set that were previously ancestors of a
+revision in the set will remain ancestors of it. For example, revision 0
+above remains an ancestor of both 1 and 2. Similarly,
+revisions outside the set that were previously descendants of a revision
+in the set will remain descendants of it. For example, revision 3 above
+remains a descendant of both 1 and 2.</p>
+<p>Therefore, <code>jj parallelize '1 | 3'</code> is a no-op. That's because 2, which is
+not in the target set, was a descendant of 1 before, so it remains a
+descendant, and it was an ancestor of 3 before, so it remains an ancestor.</p>

The first is generally recommended, but <code>jj edit</code> can be useful. When  you use <code>jj edit</code>, the revision is directly amended with your new changes, making it difficult to tell what exactly you change. You should avoid using <code>jj edit</code> when the revision has a conflict, as you may accidentally break the plain-text annotations on your state without realising.</p> <p>To start, use <code>jj new &lt;rev&gt;</code> to create a change based on that earlier revision.

To refer to such commits, you must use their commit ID. Most commonly, the way to resolve this is to abandon the unneeded commits (using <code>jj abandon &lt;commit ID&gt;</code>). If you would like to keep both commits with this change ID, you can <code>jj duplicate</code> one of them before abandoning it.</p> <p>Usually, the different commits associated with the divergent change ID should all appear in the log, but due to #2476, they may not.

You can move them without affecting the target revision's identity. Branches automatically move when revisions are rewritten (e.g. by <code>jj rebase</code>). You can pass a branch's name to commands that want a revision as argument. For example, <code>jj co main</code> will check out the revision pointed to by the \"main\" branch. Use <code>jj branch list</code> to list branches and <code>jj branch</code> to create, move, or delete branches. There is currently no concept of an active/current/checked-out branch.</p>"},{"location":"branches/#remotes-and-tracked-branches","title":"Remotes and tracked branches","text":"<p>Jujutsu records the last seen position of a branch on each remote (just like Git's remote-tracking branches). This record is updated on every <code>jj git fetch</code> and <code>jj git push</code> of the branch. You can refer to the remembered remote branch positions with <code>&lt;branch name&gt;@&lt;remote name&gt;</code>, such as <code>jj new main@origin</code>. <code>jj</code> does not provide a way to manually edit these recorded positions.</p> <p>A remote branch can be associated with a local branch of the same name. This is called a tracked remote branch. When you pull a tracked branch from a remote, any changes compared to the current record of the remote's state will be propagated to the corresponding local branch, which will be created if it doesn't exist already.</p> <p>Details: how <code>fetch</code> pulls branches</p> <p>Let's say you run <code>jj git fetch --remote origin</code> and, during the fetch, <code>jj</code> determines that the remote's \"main\" branch has been moved so that its target is now ahead of the local record in <code>main@origin</code>.</p> <p><code>jj</code> will then update <code>main@origin</code> to the new target. If <code>main@origin</code> is tracked, <code>jj</code> will also apply the change to the local branch <code>main</code>. If the local target has also been moved compared to <code>main@origin</code> (probably because you ran <code>jj branch set main</code>), then the two updates will be merged. If one is ahead of the other, then that target will become the new target. Otherwise, the local branch will become conflicted (see the \"Conflicts\" section below for details).</p> <p>Most commands don't show the tracked remote branch if it has the same target as the local branch. The local branch (without <code>@&lt;remote name&gt;</code>) is considered the branch's desired target. Consequently, if you want to update a branch on a remote, you first update the branch locally and then push the update to the remote. If a local branch also exists on some remote but points to a different target there, <code>jj log</code> will show the branch name with an asterisk suffix (e.g. <code>main*</code>). That is meant to remind you that you may want to push the branch to some remote.</p> <p>If you want to know the internals of branch tracking, consult the  Design Doc.</p>"},{"location":"branches/#terminology-summary","title":"Terminology summary","text":"<ul> <li>A remote branch is a branch ref on the remote. <code>jj</code> can find out its   actual state only when it's actively communicating with the remote. However,   <code>jj</code> does store the last-seen position of the remote branch; this is the   commit <code>jj show &lt;branch name&gt;@&lt;remote name&gt;</code> would show. This notion is   completely analogous to Git's \"remote-tracking branches\".</li> <li>A tracked (remote) branch is defined above. You can make a remote branch   tracked with the <code>jj branch track</code> command, for   example.</li> <li>A tracking (local) branch is the local branch that <code>jj</code> tries to keep in   sync with the tracked remote branch. For example, after <code>jj branch track   mybranch@origin</code>, there will be a local branch <code>mybranch</code> that's tracking the   remote <code>mybranch@origin</code> branch. A local branch can track a branch of the same   name on 0 or more remotes.</li> </ul> <p>The notion of tracked branches serves a similar function to the Git notion of an \"upstream branch\".

This feature mostly replaces Mercurial's   Changeset Evolution.</li> <li>Lets us define the change in a merge commit as being compared to the merged   parents. That way, we can rebase merge commits correctly (unlike both Git and   Mercurial). That includes conflict resolutions done in the merge commit,   addressing a common use case for   git rerere.   Since the changes in a merge commit are displayed and rebased as expected,   evil merges   are arguably not as evil anymore.</li> <li>Allows you to postpone conflict resolution until you're ready for it.

For example, when you run <code>jj edit</code> on a commit with a conflict, it will be materialized in the working copy. Conflicts are also materialized when they are part of diff output (e.g. <code>jj show</code> on a commit that introduces or resolves a conflict). Here's an example of how Git can render a conflict using its \"diff3\" style:</p> <pre><code>  &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; left\n  apple\n  grapefruit\n  orange\n  ======= base\n  apple\n  grape\n  orange\n  ||||||| right\n  APPLE\n  GRAPE\n  ORANGE\n  &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;\n</code></pre> <p>In this example, the left side changed \"grape\" to \"grapefruit\", and the right side made all lines uppercase. To resolve the conflict, we would presumably keep the right side (the third section) and replace \"GRAPE\" by \"GRAPEFRUIT\". This way of visually finding the changes between the base and one side and then applying them to the other side is a common way of resolving conflicts when using Git's \"diff3\" style.</p> <p>Jujutsu helps you by combining the base and one side into a unified diff for you, making it easier to spot the differences to apply to the other side. Here's how that would look for the same example as above:</p> <pre><code>  &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;\n  %%%%%%%\n   apple\n  -grape\n  +grapefruit\n   orange\n  +++++++\n  APPLE\n  GRAPE\n  ORANGE\n  &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;\n</code></pre> <p>As in Git, the <code>&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</code> lines mark the start and end of the conflict. The <code>%%%%%%%</code> line indicates the start of a diff. The <code>+++++++</code> line indicates the start of a snapshot (not a diff).</p> <p>There is another reason for this format (in addition to helping you spot the differences): The format supports more complex conflicts involving more than 3 inputs. Such conflicts can arise when you merge more than 2 commits. They would typically be rendered as a single snapshot (as above) but with more than one unified diffs.

For example, if you need to refactor a function in order to add a new feature cleanly, put the refactoring in one commit and the new feature in a different commit. If the refactoring itself consists of many parts, try to separate out those into separate commits. You can use <code>jj split</code> to do it if you didn't realize ahead of time how it should be split up. Include tests and documentation in the same commit as the code the test and document. The commit message should describe the changes in the commit; the PR description can even be empty, but feel free to include a personal message.</p> <p>When you address comments on a PR, don't make the changes in a commit on top (as is typical on GitHub). Instead, please make the changes in the appropriate commit. You can do that by checking out the commit (<code>jj checkout/new &lt;commit&gt;</code>) and then squash in the changes when you're done (<code>jj squash</code>). <code>jj git push</code> will automatically force-push the branch.</p> <p>When your first PR has been approved, we typically give you contributor access, so you can address any remaining minor comments and then merge the PR yourself when you're ready. If you realize that some comments require non-trivial changes, please ask your reviewer to take another look.</p> <p>To avoid conflicts of interest, please don't merge a PR that has only been approved by someone from the same organization. Similarly, as a reviewer, there is no need to approve your coworkers' PRs, since the author should await an approval from someone else anyway. It is of course still appreciated if you review and comment on their PRs. Also, if the PR seems completely unrelated to your company's interests, do feel free to approve it.</p>"},{"location":"contributing/#community-guidelines","title":"Community Guidelines","text":"<p>This project follows Google's Open Source Community Guidelines.</p>"},{"location":"contributing/#contributing-to-the-documentation","title":"Contributing to the documentation","text":"<p>We appreciate bug reports about any problems, however small, lurking in our documentation website or in the <code>jj help &lt;command&gt;</code> docs.

There's a table further down explaining how to achieve various use cases.</p> <ul> <li>The working copy is automatically committed. That results in a simpler and   more consistent CLI because the working copy is now treated like any other   commit. Details.</li> <li>There's no index (staging area). Because the working copy is automatically   committed, an index-like concept doesn't make sense. The index is very similar   to an intermediate commit between <code>HEAD</code> and the working copy, so workflows   that depend on it can be modeled using proper commits instead. Jujutsu has   excellent support for moving changes between commits. Details.</li> <li>No need for branch names (but they are supported). Git lets you check out   a commit without attaching a branch. It calls this state \"detached HEAD\". This   is the normal state in Jujutsu (there's actually no way -- yet, at least -- to   have an active branch). However, Jujutsu keeps track of all visible heads   (leaves) of the commit graph, so the commits won't get lost or   garbage-collected.</li> <li>No current branch. Git lets you check out a branch, making it the 'current   branch', and new commits will automatically update the branch. This is   necessary in Git because Git might otherwise lose track of the new commits.   Jujutsu does not have a 'current branch'; instead, you update branches   manually. For example, if you check out a commit with a branch, new commits   are created on top of the branch, then you issue a later command to update the   branch.</li> <li>Conflicts can be committed. No commands fail because of merge conflicts.   The conflicts are instead recorded in commits and you can resolve them later.   Details.</li> <li>Descendant commits are automatically rebased. Whenever you rewrite a   commit (e.g. by running <code>jj rebase</code>), all its descendants commits will   automatically be rebased on top. Branches pointing to it will also get   updated, and so will the working copy if it points to any of the rebased   commits.</li> <li>Branches are identified by their names (across remotes). For example, if   you pull from a remote that has a <code>main</code> branch, you'll get a branch by that   name in your local repo as well. If you then move it and push back to the   remote, the <code>main</code> branch on the remote will be updated.  Details.</li> <li>The operation log replaces reflogs. The operation log is similar to   reflogs, but is much more powerful. It keeps track of atomic updates to all   refs at once (Jujutsu thus improves on Git's per-ref history much in the same   way that Subversion improved on RCS's per-file history). The operation log   powers e.g. the undo functionality. Details</li> <li>There's a single, virtual root commit. Like Mercurial, Jujutsu has a   virtual commit (with a hash consisting of only zeros) called the \"root commit\"   (called the \"null revision\" in Mercurial). This commit is a common ancestor of   all commits. That removes the awkward state Git calls the \"unborn branch\"   state (which is the state a newly initialized Git repo is in), and related   command-line flags (e.g. <code>git rebase --root</code>, <code>git checkout --orphan</code>).</li> </ul>"},{"location":"git-comparison/#the-index","title":"The index","text":"<p>Git's \"index\" has multiple roles. One role is as a cache of file system information. Jujutsu has something similar. Unfortunately, Git exposes the index to the user, which makes the CLI unnecessarily complicated (learning what the different flavors of <code>git reset</code> do, especially when combined with commits and/or paths, usually takes a while). Jujutsu, like Mercurial, doesn't make that mistake.</p> <p>As a Git power-user, you may think that you need the power of the index to commit only part of the working copy. However, Jujutsu provides commands for more directly achieving most use cases you're used to using Git's index for. For example, to create a commit from part of the changes in the working copy, you might be used to using <code>git add -p; git commit</code>. With Jujutsu, you'd instead use <code>jj split</code> to split the working-copy commit into two commits. To add more changes into the parent commit, which you might normally use <code>git add -p; git commit --amend</code> for, you can instead use <code>jj squash -i</code> to choose which changes to move into the parent commit, or <code>jj squash &lt;file&gt;</code> to move a specific file.</p>"},{"location":"git-comparison/#command-equivalence-table","title":"Command equivalence table","text":"<p>Note that all <code>jj</code> commands can be run on any commit (not just the working-copy commit), but that's left out of the table to keep it simple.

These can be created if you initialize the Jujutsu repo in an existing Git repo by running <code>jj git init --colocate</code> or with <code>jj git clone --colocate</code>. The Git repo and the Jujutsu repo then share the same working copy. Jujutsu will import and export from and to the Git repo on every <code>jj</code> command automatically.</p> <p>This mode is very convenient when tools (e.g. build tools) expect a Git repo to be present.</p> <p>It is allowed to mix <code>jj</code> and <code>git</code> commands in such a repo in any order. However, it may be easier to keep track of what is going on if you mostly use read-only <code>git</code> commands and use <code>jj</code> to make changes to the repo. One reason for this (see below for more) is that <code>jj</code> commands will usually put the git repo in a \"detached HEAD\" state, since in <code>jj</code> there is not concept of a \"currently tracked branch\". Before doing mutating Git commands, you may need to tell Git what the current branch should be with a <code>git switch</code> command.</p> <p>You can undo the results of mutating <code>git</code> commands using <code>jj undo</code> and <code>jj op restore</code>. Inside <code>jj op log</code>, changes by <code>git</code> will be represented as an \"import git refs\" operation.</p> <p>There are a few downsides to this mode of operation. Generally, using co-located repos may require you to deal with more involved Jujutsu and Git concepts.</p> <ul> <li> <p>Interleaving <code>jj</code> and <code>git</code> commands increases the chance of confusing branch   conflicts or conflicted (AKA divergent) change   ids. These never lose data, but can be   annoying.</p> <p>Such interleaving can happen unknowingly. For example, some IDEs can cause it because they automatically run <code>git fetch</code> in the background from time to time.</p> </li> <li> <p>In co-located repos with a very large number of branches or other refs, <code>jj</code>   commands can get noticeably slower because of the automatic <code>jj git import</code>   executed on each command. This can be mitigated by occasionally running <code>jj util   gc</code> to speed up the import (that command includes packing the Git refs).</p> </li> <li> <p>Git tools will have trouble with revisions that contain conflicted files. While   <code>jj</code> renders these files with conflict markers in the working copy, they are   stored in a non-human-readable fashion inside the repo. Git tools will often   see this non-human-readable representation.</p> </li> <li> <p>When a <code>jj</code> branch is conflicted, the position of the branch in the Git repo   will disagree with one or more of the conflicted positions. The state of that   branch in git will be labeled as though it belongs to a remote named \"git\",   e.g. <code>branch@git</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p>Jujutsu will ignore Git's staging area. It will not understand merge conflicts   as Git represents them, unfinished <code>git rebase</code> states, as well as other less   common states a Git repository can be in.</p> </li> <li> <p>Colocated repositories are less resilient to   concurrency   issues if you share the repo using an NFS filesystem or Dropbox. In general,   such use of Jujutsu is not currently thoroughly tested.</p> </li> <li> <p>There may still be bugs when interleaving mutating <code>jj</code> and <code>git</code> commands,   usually having to do with a branch pointer ending up in the wrong place.

This also   has several advantages:</p> <ul> <li>Merge conflicts won't prevent you from checking out another commit.</li> <li>You can resolve the conflicts when you feel like it.</li> <li>Rebasing descendants always succeeds. Like jj, Sapling automatically   rebases, but it will fail if there are conflicts.</li> <li>Merge commits can be rebased correctly (Sapling sometimes fails).</li> <li>You can rebase conflicts and conflict resolutions.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <p>Undo: jj's undo is powered by the operation log, which   records how the repo has changed over time. Sapling has a similar feature   with its MetaLog.   They seem to provide similar functionality, but jj also exposes the log to the   user via <code>jj op log</code>, so you can tell how far back you want to go back.   Sapling has <code>sl debugmetalog</code>, but that seems to show the history of a single   commit, not the whole repo's history. Thanks to jj snapshotting the working   copy, it's possible to undo changes to the working copy. For example, if   you <code>jj undo</code> a <code>jj commit</code>, <code>jj diff</code> will show the same changes as   before <code>jj commit</code>, but if you <code>sl undo</code> a <code>sl commit</code>, the working copy will   be clean.</p> </li> <li>Git interop: Sapling supports cloning, pushing, and pulling from a remote   Git repo. jj also does, and it also supports sharing a working copy with a Git   repo, so you can use <code>jj</code> and <code>git</code> interchangeably in the same repo.</li> <li>Polish: Sapling is much more polished and feature-complete. For example,   jj has no <code>blame/annotate</code> or <code>bisect</code> commands, and also no copy/rename   support. Sapling also has very nice web UI   called Interactive Smartlog, which   lets you drag and drop commits to rebase them, among other things.</li> <li>Forge workflow: Sapling has <code>sl pr submit --stack</code>, which lets you   push a stack of commits as separate GitHub PRs, including setting the base   branch. It only supports GitHub. jj doesn't have any direct integration with   GitHub or any other forge. However, it has <code>jj git push --change</code> for   automatically creating branches for specified commits. You have to specify   each commit you want to create a branch for by using   <code>jj git push --change X --change Y ...</code>, and you have to manually set up any   base branches in GitHub's UI (or GitLab's or ...). On subsequent pushes, you   can update all at once by specifying something like <code>jj git push -r main..@</code>   (to push all branches on the current stack of commits from where it forked   from <code>main</code>).</li> </ul>"},{"location":"templates/","title":"Templates","text":"<p>Jujutsu supports a functional language to customize output of commands.

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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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 \u2014 users no longer have to learn about old versions of a revision unless they want to look at the obslog.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>\u2014 Rain, engineer at Oxide Computer Company, former VCS developer</p> <p>Jujutsu is amazing...

To untrack a path, add it to your <code>.gitignore</code> and run <code>jj untrack &lt;path&gt;</code>.</p> <p>To see the diff, run <code>jj diff</code>:</p> <pre><code>$ jj diff --git  # Feel free to skip the `--git` flag\ndiff --git a/README b/README\nindex 980a0d5f19...1ce3f81130 100644\n--- a/README\n+++ b/README\n@@ -1,1 +1,1 @@\n-Hello World!\n+Goodbye World!\n</code></pre> <p>Jujutsu's diff format currently defaults to inline coloring of the diff (like <code>git diff --color-words</code>), so we used <code>--git</code> above to make the diff readable in this tutorial.</p> <p>As you may have noticed, the working-copy commit's ID changed both when we edited the description and when we edited the README. However, the parent commit stayed the same. Each change to the working-copy commit amends the previous version. So how do we tell Jujutsu that we are done amending the current change and want to start working on a new one? That is what <code>jj new</code> is for. That will create a new commit on top of your current working-copy commit. The new commit is for the working-copy changes.</p> <p>So, let's say we're now done with this change, so we create a new change:</p> <pre><code>$ jj new\nWorking copy now at: mpqrykyp aef4df99 (empty) (no description set)\nParent commit      : kntqzsqt 5d39e19d Say goodbye\n$ jj st\nThe working copy is clean\nWorking copy : mpqrykyp aef4df99 (empty) (no description set)\nParent commit: kntqzsqt 5d39e19d Say goodbye\n</code></pre> <p>If we later realize that we want to make further changes, we can make them in the working copy and then run <code>jj squash</code>. That command squashes the changes from a given commit into its parent commit. Like most commands, it acts on the working-copy commit by default. When run on the working-copy commit, it behaves very similar to <code>git commit --amend</code>, and <code>jj amend</code> is in fact an alias for <code>jj squash</code>.</p> <p>Alternatively, we can use <code>jj edit &lt;commit&gt;</code> to resume editing a commit in the working copy. Any further changes in the working copy will then amend the commit. Whether you choose to create a new change and squash, or to edit, typically depends on how done you are with the change; if the change is almost done, it makes sense to use <code>jj new</code> so you can easily review your adjustments with <code>jj diff</code> before running <code>jj squash</code>. </p>"},{"location":"tutorial/#the-log-command-and-revsets","title":"The log command and \"revsets\"","text":"<p>You're probably familiar with <code>git log</code>.

The first ID on a line (e.g. \"mpqrykyp\" above) is the \"change ID\", which is an ID that follows the commit as it's rewritten (similar to Gerrit's Change-Id). The second ID is the commit ID, which changes when you rewrite the commit. You can give either ID to commands that take revisions as arguments. We will generally prefer change IDs because they stay the same when the commit is rewritten.</p> <p>By default, <code>jj log</code> lists your local commits, with some remote commits added for context.  The <code>~</code> indicates that the commit has parents that are not included in the graph. We can use the <code>--revisions</code>/<code>-r</code> flag to select a different set of revisions to list. The flag accepts a \"revset\", which is an expression in a simple language for specifying revisions.

We then fixed that in the third commit when we also added \"D\". It would be cleaner to move the capitalization of \"c\" into the second commit. We can do that by running <code>jj squash</code> with the <code>--interactive</code>/<code>-i</code> option on the third commit. Remember that <code>jj squash</code> moves all the changes from one commit into its parent. <code>jj squash -i</code> moves only part of the changes into its parent. Now try that:</p> <pre><code>$ jj squash -i\nUsing default editor ':builtin'; you can change this by setting ui.diff-editor\nWorking copy now at: mrxqplyk 52a6c7fd ABCD\nParent commit      : kwtuwqnm 643061ac ABC\n</code></pre> <p>That will bring up the built-in diff editor with a diff of the changes in the \"ABCD\" commit. If you prefer another diff editor, you can configure <code>ui.diff-editor</code> instead. Modify the right side of the diff to have the desired end state in \"ABC\" by removing the \"D\" line. Then save the changes and close Meld. If we look at the diff of the second commit, we now see that all three lines got capitalized:</p> <pre><code>$ jj diff -r @-\nModified regular file file:\n   1    1: aA\n   2    2: bB\n   3    3: cC\n</code></pre> <p>The child change (\"ABCD\" in our case) will have the same content state after the <code>jj squash</code> command. That means that you can move any changes you want into the parent change, even if they touch the same word, and it won't cause any conflicts.</p> <p>Let's try one final command for changing the contents of an exiting commit. That command is <code>jj diffedit</code>, which lets you edit the contents of a commit without checking it out.</p> <pre><code>$ jj diffedit -r @-\nUsing default editor ':builtin'; you can change this by setting ui.diff-editor\nCreated kwtuwqnm 70985eaa (empty) ABC\nRebased 1 descendant commits\nNew conflicts appeared in these commits:\n  mrxqplyk 1c72cd50 (conflict) ABCD\nTo resolve the conflicts, start by updating to it:\n  jj new mrxqplykmyqv\nThen use `jj resolve`, or edit the conflict markers in the file directly.\nOnce the conflicts are resolved, you may want inspect the result with `jj diff`.\nThen run `jj squash` to move the resolution into the conflicted commit.\nWorking copy now at: mrxqplyk 1c72cd50 (conflict) ABCD\nParent commit      : kwtuwqnm 70985eaa (empty) ABC\nAdded 0 files, modified 1 files, removed 0 files\n</code></pre> <p>In the diff editor, edit the right side by e.g. adding something to the first line. Press 'c' to save the changes and close it. You can now inspect the rewritten commit with <code>jj diff -r @-</code> again and you should see your addition to the first line. Unlike <code>jj squash -i</code>, which left the content state of the commit unchanged, <code>jj diffedit</code> (typically) results in a different state, which means that descendant commits may have conflicts.</p> <p>Other commands for rewriting contents of existing commits are <code>jj split</code>, <code>jj unsquash -i</code>.

It also keeps track of the (typically 3) different parts involved in the conflict. Whenever it scans the working copy thereafter, it parses the conflict markers and recreates the conflict state from them. You can resolve conflicts by replacing the conflict markers by the resolved text. You don't need to resolve all conflicts at once. You can even resolve part of a conflict by updating the different parts of the conflict marker.</p> <p>To resolve conflicts in a commit, use <code>jj new &lt;commit&gt;</code> to create a working-copy commit on top. You would then have the same conflicts in the working-copy commit. Once you have resolved the conflicts, you can inspect the conflict resolutions with <code>jj diff</code>. Then run <code>jj squash</code> to move the conflict resolutions into the conflicted commit. Alternatively, you can edit the commit with conflicts directly in the working copy by using <code>jj edit &lt;commit&gt;</code>. The main disadvantage of that is that it's harder to inspect the conflict resolutions.</p> <p>With the <code>jj resolve</code> command, you can use an external merge tool to resolve conflicts that have 2 sides and a base.

A DVCS that didn't let users edit files and create commits on separate machines at the same time wouldn't be much of a distributed VCS.</p> <p>When conflicting changes are made in different clones, a DVCS will have to deal with that when you push or pull. For example, when using Mercurial, if the remote has updated a bookmark called <code>main</code> (Mercurial's bookmarks are similar to a Git's branches) and you had updated the same bookmark locally but made it point to a different target, Mercurial would add a bookmark called <code>main@origin</code> to indicate the conflict. Git instead prevents the conflict by renaming pulled branches to <code>origin/main</code> whether or not there was a conflict. However, most DVCSs treat local concurrency quite differently, typically by using lock files to prevent concurrent edits. Unlike those DVCSs, Jujutsu treats concurrent edits the same whether they're made locally or remotely.</p> <p>One problem with using lock files is that they don't work when the clone is in a distributed file system. Most clones are of course not stored in distributed file systems, but it is a big problem when they are (Mercurial repos frequently get corrupted, for example).</p> <p>Another problem with using lock files is related to complexity of implementation. The simplest way of using lock files is to take coarse-grained locks early: every command that may modify the repo takes a lock at the very beginning. However, that means that operations that wouldn't actually conflict would still have to wait for each other. The user experience can be improved by using finer-grained locks and/or taking the locks later. The drawback of that is complexity. For example, you need to verify that any assumptions you made before locking are still valid after you take the lock.</p> <p>To avoid depending on lock files, Jujutsu takes a different approach by accepting that concurrent changes can always happen. It instead exposes any conflicting changes to the user, much like other DVCSs do for conflicting changes made remotely.</p>"},{"location":"technical/concurrency/#syncing-with-rsync-nfs-dropbox-etc","title":"Syncing with <code>rsync</code>, NFS, Dropbox, etc","text":"<p>Jujutsu's lock-free concurrency means that it's possible to update copies of the clone on different machines and then let <code>rsync</code> (or Dropbox, or NFS, etc.) merge them.

If conflicting changes were made, they will appear as conflicts. For example, if a branch was moved to two different locations, they will appear in <code>jj log</code> in both locations but with a \"?\" after the name, and <code>jj status</code> will also inform the user about the conflict.</p> <p>Note that, for now, there are known bugs in this area.

If you know about the bug, it is relatively easy to recover from.</p> <p>Moreover, such use of Jujutsu is not currently thoroughly tested, especially in the context of co-located repositories.

That is what allows us to detect and merge concurrent operations.</p> <p>The operation log is similar to a commit DAG (such as in Git's object model), but each commit object is instead an \"operation\" and each tree object is instead a \"view\". The view object contains the set of visible head commits, branches, tags, and the working-copy commit in each workspace. The operation object contains a pointer to the view object (like how commit objects point to tree objects), pointers to parent operation(s) (like how commit objects point to parent commit(s)), and metadata about the operation. These types are defined in <code>op_store.proto</code> The operation log is normally linear. It becomes non-linear if there are concurrent operations.</p> <p>When a command starts, it loads the repo at the latest operation. Because the associated view object completely defines the repo state, the running command will not see any changes made by other processes thereafter. When the operation completes, it is written with the start operation as parent. The operation cannot fail to commit (except for disk failures and such). It is left for the next command to notice if there were concurrent operations. It will have to be able to do that anyway since the concurrent operation could have arrived via a distributed file system. This model -- where each operation sees a consistent view of the repo and is guaranteed to be able to commit their changes -- greatly simplifies the implementation of commands.</p> <p>It is possible to load the repo at a particular operation with <code>jj --at-operation=&lt;operation ID&gt; &lt;command&gt;</code>. If the command is mutational, that will result in a fork in the operation log. That works exactly the same as if any later operations had not existed when the command started. In other words, running commands on a repo loaded at an earlier operation works the same way as if the operations had been concurrent. This can be useful for simulating concurrent operations.</p>"},{"location":"technical/concurrency/#merging-concurrent-operations","title":"Merging concurrent operations","text":"<p>If Jujutsu tries to load the repo and finds multiple heads in the operation log, it will do a 3-way merge of the view objects based on their common ancestor (possibly several 3-way merges if there were more than two heads).

For example, if branch <code>main</code> was moved from commit A to commit B in one operation and moved to commit C in a concurrent operation, then <code>main</code> will be recorded as \"moved from A to B or C\". See the <code>RefTarget</code> definition in <code>op_store.proto</code>.</p> <p>Because we allow branches (etc.) to be in a conflicted state rather than just erroring out when there are multiple heads, the user can continue to use the repo, including performing further operations on the repo.

There will always be an odd number of trees linked from the commit. You can think of the first tree as a start tree, and the subsequent pairs of trees to apply the diff between onto the start. Examples:</p> <ul> <li>If the commit has trees A, B, C, D, and E it means that the contents should be   calculated as A+(C-B)+(E-D).</li> <li>A three-way merge between A and C with B as base can be represented as a commit with trees A, B, and C, also known as A+(C-B).</li> </ul> <p>The resulting tree contents is calculated on demand. Note that we often don't need to merge the entire tree. For example, when checking out a commit in the working copy, we only need to merge parts of the tree that differs from the tree that was previously checked out in the working copy. As another example, when listing paths with conflicts, we only need to traverse parts of the tree that cannot be trivially resolved; if only one side modified <code>lib/</code>, then we don't need to look for conflicts in that sub-tree.</p> <p>When merging trees, if we can't resolve a sub-tree conflict trivially by looking at just the tree id, we recurse into the sub-tree. Similarly, if we can't resolve a file conflict trivially by looking at just the id, we recursive into the hunks within the file.</p> <p>See here for how conflicts are stored when using the Git commit backend.</p>"},{"location":"technical/conflicts/#conflict-simplification","title":"Conflict simplification","text":"<p>Remember that a 3-way merge can be written <code>A+C-B</code>. If one of those states is itself a conflict, then we simply insert the conflict expression there. Then we simplify by removing canceling terms. These two steps are implemented in <code>Merge::flatten()</code> and <code>Merge::simplify()</code> in <code>merge.rs</code>.</p> <p>For example, let's say commit B is based on A and is rebased to C, where it results in conflicts (<code>B+C-A</code>), which the user leaves unresolved. If the commit is then rebased to D, the result will be <code>(B+C-A)+(D-C)</code> (<code>D-C</code> comes from changing the base from C to D). That expression can be simplified to <code>B+D-A</code>, which is a regular 3-way merge between B and D with A as base (no trace of C). This is what lets the user keep old commits rebased to head without resolving conflicts and still not get messy recursive conflicts.</p> <p>As another example, let's go through what happens when you back out a conflicted commit. Let's say we have the usual <code>B+C-A</code> conflict on top of non-conflict state C. We then back out that change. Backing out (\"reverting\" in Git-speak) a change means applying its reverse diff, so the result is <code>(B+C-A)+(A-(B+C-A))</code>, which we can simplify to just <code>A</code> (i.e. no conflict).</p>"}]}

This feature mostly replaces Mercurial's   Changeset Evolution.</li> <li>Lets us define the change in a merge commit as being compared to the merged   parents. That way, we can rebase merge commits correctly (unlike both Git and   Mercurial). That includes conflict resolutions done in the merge commit,   addressing a common use case for   git rerere.   Since the changes in a merge commit are displayed and rebased as expected,   evil merges   are arguably not as evil anymore.</li> <li>Allows you to postpone conflict resolution until you're ready for it.

For example, when you run <code>jj edit</code> on a commit with a conflict, it will be materialized in the working copy. Conflicts are also materialized when they are part of diff output (e.g. <code>jj show</code> on a commit that introduces or resolves a conflict). Here's an example of how Git can render a conflict using its \"diff3\" style:</p> <pre><code>  &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; left\n  apple\n  grapefruit\n  orange\n  ======= base\n  apple\n  grape\n  orange\n  ||||||| right\n  APPLE\n  GRAPE\n  ORANGE\n  &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;\n</code></pre> <p>In this example, the left side changed \"grape\" to \"grapefruit\", and the right side made all lines uppercase. To resolve the conflict, we would presumably keep the right side (the third section) and replace \"GRAPE\" by \"GRAPEFRUIT\". This way of visually finding the changes between the base and one side and then applying them to the other side is a common way of resolving conflicts when using Git's \"diff3\" style.</p> <p>Jujutsu helps you by combining the base and one side into a unified diff for you, making it easier to spot the differences to apply to the other side. Here's how that would look for the same example as above:</p> <pre><code>  &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;\n  %%%%%%%\n   apple\n  -grape\n  +grapefruit\n   orange\n  +++++++\n  APPLE\n  GRAPE\n  ORANGE\n  &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;\n</code></pre> <p>As in Git, the <code>&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</code> lines mark the start and end of the conflict. The <code>%%%%%%%</code> line indicates the start of a diff. The <code>+++++++</code> line indicates the start of a snapshot (not a diff).</p> <p>There is another reason for this format (in addition to helping you spot the differences): The format supports more complex conflicts involving more than 3 inputs. Such conflicts can arise when you merge more than 2 commits. They would typically be rendered as a single snapshot (as above) but with more than one unified diffs.

For example, if you need to refactor a function in order to add a new feature cleanly, put the refactoring in one commit and the new feature in a different commit. If the refactoring itself consists of many parts, try to separate out those into separate commits. You can use <code>jj split</code> to do it if you didn't realize ahead of time how it should be split up. Include tests and documentation in the same commit as the code the test and document. The commit message should describe the changes in the commit; the PR description can even be empty, but feel free to include a personal message.</p> <p>When you address comments on a PR, don't make the changes in a commit on top (as is typical on GitHub). Instead, please make the changes in the appropriate commit. You can do that by checking out the commit (<code>jj checkout/new &lt;commit&gt;</code>) and then squash in the changes when you're done (<code>jj squash</code>). <code>jj git push</code> will automatically force-push the branch.</p> <p>When your first PR has been approved, we typically give you contributor access, so you can address any remaining minor comments and then merge the PR yourself when you're ready. If you realize that some comments require non-trivial changes, please ask your reviewer to take another look.</p> <p>To avoid conflicts of interest, please don't merge a PR that has only been approved by someone from the same organization. Similarly, as a reviewer, there is no need to approve your coworkers' PRs, since the author should await an approval from someone else anyway. It is of course still appreciated if you review and comment on their PRs. Also, if the PR seems completely unrelated to your company's interests, do feel free to approve it.</p>"},{"location":"contributing/#community-guidelines","title":"Community Guidelines","text":"<p>This project follows Google's Open Source Community Guidelines.</p>"},{"location":"contributing/#contributing-to-the-documentation","title":"Contributing to the documentation","text":"<p>We appreciate bug reports about any problems, however small, lurking in our documentation website or in the <code>jj help &lt;command&gt;</code> docs.

There's a table further down explaining how to achieve various use cases.</p> <ul> <li>The working copy is automatically committed. That results in a simpler and   more consistent CLI because the working copy is now treated like any other   commit. Details.</li> <li>There's no index (staging area). Because the working copy is automatically   committed, an index-like concept doesn't make sense. The index is very similar   to an intermediate commit between <code>HEAD</code> and the working copy, so workflows   that depend on it can be modeled using proper commits instead. Jujutsu has   excellent support for moving changes between commits. Details.</li> <li>No need for branch names (but they are supported). Git lets you check out   a commit without attaching a branch. It calls this state \"detached HEAD\". This   is the normal state in Jujutsu (there's actually no way -- yet, at least -- to   have an active branch). However, Jujutsu keeps track of all visible heads   (leaves) of the commit graph, so the commits won't get lost or   garbage-collected.</li> <li>No current branch. Git lets you check out a branch, making it the 'current   branch', and new commits will automatically update the branch. This is   necessary in Git because Git might otherwise lose track of the new commits.   Jujutsu does not have a 'current branch'; instead, you update branches   manually. For example, if you check out a commit with a branch, new commits   are created on top of the branch, then you issue a later command to update the   branch.</li> <li>Conflicts can be committed. No commands fail because of merge conflicts.   The conflicts are instead recorded in commits and you can resolve them later.   Details.</li> <li>Descendant commits are automatically rebased. Whenever you rewrite a   commit (e.g. by running <code>jj rebase</code>), all its descendants commits will   automatically be rebased on top. Branches pointing to it will also get   updated, and so will the working copy if it points to any of the rebased   commits.</li> <li>Branches are identified by their names (across remotes). For example, if   you pull from a remote that has a <code>main</code> branch, you'll get a branch by that   name in your local repo as well. If you then move it and push back to the   remote, the <code>main</code> branch on the remote will be updated.  Details.</li> <li>The operation log replaces reflogs. The operation log is similar to   reflogs, but is much more powerful. It keeps track of atomic updates to all   refs at once (Jujutsu thus improves on Git's per-ref history much in the same   way that Subversion improved on RCS's per-file history). The operation log   powers e.g. the undo functionality. Details</li> <li>There's a single, virtual root commit. Like Mercurial, Jujutsu has a   virtual commit (with a hash consisting of only zeros) called the \"root commit\"   (called the \"null revision\" in Mercurial). This commit is a common ancestor of   all commits. That removes the awkward state Git calls the \"unborn branch\"   state (which is the state a newly initialized Git repo is in), and related   command-line flags (e.g. <code>git rebase --root</code>, <code>git checkout --orphan</code>).</li> </ul>"},{"location":"git-comparison/#the-index","title":"The index","text":"<p>Git's \"index\" has multiple roles. One role is as a cache of file system information. Jujutsu has something similar. Unfortunately, Git exposes the index to the user, which makes the CLI unnecessarily complicated (learning what the different flavors of <code>git reset</code> do, especially when combined with commits and/or paths, usually takes a while). Jujutsu, like Mercurial, doesn't make that mistake.</p> <p>As a Git power-user, you may think that you need the power of the index to commit only part of the working copy. However, Jujutsu provides commands for more directly achieving most use cases you're used to using Git's index for. For example, to create a commit from part of the changes in the working copy, you might be used to using <code>git add -p; git commit</code>. With Jujutsu, you'd instead use <code>jj split</code> to split the working-copy commit into two commits. To add more changes into the parent commit, which you might normally use <code>git add -p; git commit --amend</code> for, you can instead use <code>jj squash -i</code> to choose which changes to move into the parent commit, or <code>jj squash &lt;file&gt;</code> to move a specific file.</p>"},{"location":"git-comparison/#command-equivalence-table","title":"Command equivalence table","text":"<p>Note that all <code>jj</code> commands can be run on any commit (not just the working-copy commit), but that's left out of the table to keep it simple.

These can be created if you initialize the Jujutsu repo in an existing Git repo by running <code>jj git init --colocate</code> or with <code>jj git clone --colocate</code>. The Git repo and the Jujutsu repo then share the same working copy. Jujutsu will import and export from and to the Git repo on every <code>jj</code> command automatically.</p> <p>This mode is very convenient when tools (e.g. build tools) expect a Git repo to be present.</p> <p>It is allowed to mix <code>jj</code> and <code>git</code> commands in such a repo in any order. However, it may be easier to keep track of what is going on if you mostly use read-only <code>git</code> commands and use <code>jj</code> to make changes to the repo. One reason for this (see below for more) is that <code>jj</code> commands will usually put the git repo in a \"detached HEAD\" state, since in <code>jj</code> there is not concept of a \"currently tracked branch\". Before doing mutating Git commands, you may need to tell Git what the current branch should be with a <code>git switch</code> command.</p> <p>You can undo the results of mutating <code>git</code> commands using <code>jj undo</code> and <code>jj op restore</code>. Inside <code>jj op log</code>, changes by <code>git</code> will be represented as an \"import git refs\" operation.</p> <p>There are a few downsides to this mode of operation. Generally, using co-located repos may require you to deal with more involved Jujutsu and Git concepts.</p> <ul> <li> <p>Interleaving <code>jj</code> and <code>git</code> commands increases the chance of confusing branch   conflicts or conflicted (AKA divergent) change   ids. These never lose data, but can be   annoying.</p> <p>Such interleaving can happen unknowingly. For example, some IDEs can cause it because they automatically run <code>git fetch</code> in the background from time to time.</p> </li> <li> <p>In co-located repos with a very large number of branches or other refs, <code>jj</code>   commands can get noticeably slower because of the automatic <code>jj git import</code>   executed on each command. This can be mitigated by occasionally running <code>jj util   gc</code> to speed up the import (that command includes packing the Git refs).</p> </li> <li> <p>Git tools will have trouble with revisions that contain conflicted files. While   <code>jj</code> renders these files with conflict markers in the working copy, they are   stored in a non-human-readable fashion inside the repo. Git tools will often   see this non-human-readable representation.</p> </li> <li> <p>When a <code>jj</code> branch is conflicted, the position of the branch in the Git repo   will disagree with one or more of the conflicted positions. The state of that   branch in git will be labeled as though it belongs to a remote named \"git\",   e.g. <code>branch@git</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p>Jujutsu will ignore Git's staging area. It will not understand merge conflicts   as Git represents them, unfinished <code>git rebase</code> states, as well as other less   common states a Git repository can be in.</p> </li> <li> <p>Colocated repositories are less resilient to   concurrency   issues if you share the repo using an NFS filesystem or Dropbox. In general,   such use of Jujutsu is not currently thoroughly tested.</p> </li> <li> <p>There may still be bugs when interleaving mutating <code>jj</code> and <code>git</code> commands,   usually having to do with a branch pointer ending up in the wrong place.

This also   has several advantages:</p> <ul> <li>Merge conflicts won't prevent you from checking out another commit.</li> <li>You can resolve the conflicts when you feel like it.</li> <li>Rebasing descendants always succeeds. Like jj, Sapling automatically   rebases, but it will fail if there are conflicts.</li> <li>Merge commits can be rebased correctly (Sapling sometimes fails).</li> <li>You can rebase conflicts and conflict resolutions.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <p>Undo: jj's undo is powered by the operation log, which   records how the repo has changed over time. Sapling has a similar feature   with its MetaLog.   They seem to provide similar functionality, but jj also exposes the log to the   user via <code>jj op log</code>, so you can tell how far back you want to go back.   Sapling has <code>sl debugmetalog</code>, but that seems to show the history of a single   commit, not the whole repo's history. Thanks to jj snapshotting the working   copy, it's possible to undo changes to the working copy. For example, if   you <code>jj undo</code> a <code>jj commit</code>, <code>jj diff</code> will show the same changes as   before <code>jj commit</code>, but if you <code>sl undo</code> a <code>sl commit</code>, the working copy will   be clean.</p> </li> <li>Git interop: Sapling supports cloning, pushing, and pulling from a remote   Git repo. jj also does, and it also supports sharing a working copy with a Git   repo, so you can use <code>jj</code> and <code>git</code> interchangeably in the same repo.</li> <li>Polish: Sapling is much more polished and feature-complete. For example,   jj has no <code>blame/annotate</code> or <code>bisect</code> commands, and also no copy/rename   support. Sapling also has very nice web UI   called Interactive Smartlog, which   lets you drag and drop commits to rebase them, among other things.</li> <li>Forge workflow: Sapling has <code>sl pr submit --stack</code>, which lets you   push a stack of commits as separate GitHub PRs, including setting the base   branch. It only supports GitHub. jj doesn't have any direct integration with   GitHub or any other forge. However, it has <code>jj git push --change</code> for   automatically creating branches for specified commits. You have to specify   each commit you want to create a branch for by using   <code>jj git push --change X --change Y ...</code>, and you have to manually set up any   base branches in GitHub's UI (or GitLab's or ...). On subsequent pushes, you   can update all at once by specifying something like <code>jj git push -r main..@</code>   (to push all branches on the current stack of commits from where it forked   from <code>main</code>).</li> </ul>"},{"location":"templates/","title":"Templates","text":"<p>Jujutsu supports a functional language to customize output of commands.

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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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 \u2014 users no longer have to learn about old versions of a revision unless they want to look at the obslog.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>\u2014 Rain, engineer at Oxide Computer Company, former VCS developer</p> <p>Jujutsu is amazing...

To untrack a path, add it to your <code>.gitignore</code> and run <code>jj untrack &lt;path&gt;</code>.</p> <p>To see the diff, run <code>jj diff</code>:</p> <pre><code>$ jj diff --git  # Feel free to skip the `--git` flag\ndiff --git a/README b/README\nindex 980a0d5f19...1ce3f81130 100644\n--- a/README\n+++ b/README\n@@ -1,1 +1,1 @@\n-Hello World!\n+Goodbye World!\n</code></pre> <p>Jujutsu's diff format currently defaults to inline coloring of the diff (like <code>git diff --color-words</code>), so we used <code>--git</code> above to make the diff readable in this tutorial.</p> <p>As you may have noticed, the working-copy commit's ID changed both when we edited the description and when we edited the README. However, the parent commit stayed the same. Each change to the working-copy commit amends the previous version. So how do we tell Jujutsu that we are done amending the current change and want to start working on a new one? That is what <code>jj new</code> is for. That will create a new commit on top of your current working-copy commit. The new commit is for the working-copy changes.</p> <p>So, let's say we're now done with this change, so we create a new change:</p> <pre><code>$ jj new\nWorking copy now at: mpqrykyp aef4df99 (empty) (no description set)\nParent commit      : kntqzsqt 5d39e19d Say goodbye\n$ jj st\nThe working copy is clean\nWorking copy : mpqrykyp aef4df99 (empty) (no description set)\nParent commit: kntqzsqt 5d39e19d Say goodbye\n</code></pre> <p>If we later realize that we want to make further changes, we can make them in the working copy and then run <code>jj squash</code>. That command squashes the changes from a given commit into its parent commit. Like most commands, it acts on the working-copy commit by default. When run on the working-copy commit, it behaves very similar to <code>git commit --amend</code>, and <code>jj amend</code> is in fact an alias for <code>jj squash</code>.</p> <p>Alternatively, we can use <code>jj edit &lt;commit&gt;</code> to resume editing a commit in the working copy. Any further changes in the working copy will then amend the commit. Whether you choose to create a new change and squash, or to edit, typically depends on how done you are with the change; if the change is almost done, it makes sense to use <code>jj new</code> so you can easily review your adjustments with <code>jj diff</code> before running <code>jj squash</code>. </p>"},{"location":"tutorial/#the-log-command-and-revsets","title":"The log command and \"revsets\"","text":"<p>You're probably familiar with <code>git log</code>.

The first ID on a line (e.g. \"mpqrykyp\" above) is the \"change ID\", which is an ID that follows the commit as it's rewritten (similar to Gerrit's Change-Id). The second ID is the commit ID, which changes when you rewrite the commit. You can give either ID to commands that take revisions as arguments. We will generally prefer change IDs because they stay the same when the commit is rewritten.</p> <p>By default, <code>jj log</code> lists your local commits, with some remote commits added for context.  The <code>~</code> indicates that the commit has parents that are not included in the graph. We can use the <code>--revisions</code>/<code>-r</code> flag to select a different set of revisions to list. The flag accepts a \"revset\", which is an expression in a simple language for specifying revisions.

We then fixed that in the third commit when we also added \"D\". It would be cleaner to move the capitalization of \"c\" into the second commit. We can do that by running <code>jj squash</code> with the <code>--interactive</code>/<code>-i</code> option on the third commit. Remember that <code>jj squash</code> moves all the changes from one commit into its parent. <code>jj squash -i</code> moves only part of the changes into its parent. Now try that:</p> <pre><code>$ jj squash -i\nUsing default editor ':builtin'; you can change this by setting ui.diff-editor\nWorking copy now at: mrxqplyk 52a6c7fd ABCD\nParent commit      : kwtuwqnm 643061ac ABC\n</code></pre> <p>That will bring up the built-in diff editor with a diff of the changes in the \"ABCD\" commit. If you prefer another diff editor, you can configure <code>ui.diff-editor</code> instead. Modify the right side of the diff to have the desired end state in \"ABC\" by removing the \"D\" line. Then save the changes and close Meld. If we look at the diff of the second commit, we now see that all three lines got capitalized:</p> <pre><code>$ jj diff -r @-\nModified regular file file:\n   1    1: aA\n   2    2: bB\n   3    3: cC\n</code></pre> <p>The child change (\"ABCD\" in our case) will have the same content state after the <code>jj squash</code> command. That means that you can move any changes you want into the parent change, even if they touch the same word, and it won't cause any conflicts.</p> <p>Let's try one final command for changing the contents of an exiting commit. That command is <code>jj diffedit</code>, which lets you edit the contents of a commit without checking it out.</p> <pre><code>$ jj diffedit -r @-\nUsing default editor ':builtin'; you can change this by setting ui.diff-editor\nCreated kwtuwqnm 70985eaa (empty) ABC\nRebased 1 descendant commits\nNew conflicts appeared in these commits:\n  mrxqplyk 1c72cd50 (conflict) ABCD\nTo resolve the conflicts, start by updating to it:\n  jj new mrxqplykmyqv\nThen use `jj resolve`, or edit the conflict markers in the file directly.\nOnce the conflicts are resolved, you may want inspect the result with `jj diff`.\nThen run `jj squash` to move the resolution into the conflicted commit.\nWorking copy now at: mrxqplyk 1c72cd50 (conflict) ABCD\nParent commit      : kwtuwqnm 70985eaa (empty) ABC\nAdded 0 files, modified 1 files, removed 0 files\n</code></pre> <p>In the diff editor, edit the right side by e.g. adding something to the first line. Press 'c' to save the changes and close it. You can now inspect the rewritten commit with <code>jj diff -r @-</code> again and you should see your addition to the first line. Unlike <code>jj squash -i</code>, which left the content state of the commit unchanged, <code>jj diffedit</code> (typically) results in a different state, which means that descendant commits may have conflicts.</p> <p>Other commands for rewriting contents of existing commits are <code>jj split</code>, <code>jj unsquash -i</code>.

It also keeps track of the (typically 3) different parts involved in the conflict. Whenever it scans the working copy thereafter, it parses the conflict markers and recreates the conflict state from them. You can resolve conflicts by replacing the conflict markers by the resolved text. You don't need to resolve all conflicts at once. You can even resolve part of a conflict by updating the different parts of the conflict marker.</p> <p>To resolve conflicts in a commit, use <code>jj new &lt;commit&gt;</code> to create a working-copy commit on top. You would then have the same conflicts in the working-copy commit. Once you have resolved the conflicts, you can inspect the conflict resolutions with <code>jj diff</code>. Then run <code>jj squash</code> to move the conflict resolutions into the conflicted commit. Alternatively, you can edit the commit with conflicts directly in the working copy by using <code>jj edit &lt;commit&gt;</code>. The main disadvantage of that is that it's harder to inspect the conflict resolutions.</p> <p>With the <code>jj resolve</code> command, you can use an external merge tool to resolve conflicts that have 2 sides and a base.

A DVCS that didn't let users edit files and create commits on separate machines at the same time wouldn't be much of a distributed VCS.</p> <p>When conflicting changes are made in different clones, a DVCS will have to deal with that when you push or pull. For example, when using Mercurial, if the remote has updated a bookmark called <code>main</code> (Mercurial's bookmarks are similar to a Git's branches) and you had updated the same bookmark locally but made it point to a different target, Mercurial would add a bookmark called <code>main@origin</code> to indicate the conflict. Git instead prevents the conflict by renaming pulled branches to <code>origin/main</code> whether or not there was a conflict. However, most DVCSs treat local concurrency quite differently, typically by using lock files to prevent concurrent edits. Unlike those DVCSs, Jujutsu treats concurrent edits the same whether they're made locally or remotely.</p> <p>One problem with using lock files is that they don't work when the clone is in a distributed file system. Most clones are of course not stored in distributed file systems, but it is a big problem when they are (Mercurial repos frequently get corrupted, for example).</p> <p>Another problem with using lock files is related to complexity of implementation. The simplest way of using lock files is to take coarse-grained locks early: every command that may modify the repo takes a lock at the very beginning. However, that means that operations that wouldn't actually conflict would still have to wait for each other. The user experience can be improved by using finer-grained locks and/or taking the locks later. The drawback of that is complexity. For example, you need to verify that any assumptions you made before locking are still valid after you take the lock.</p> <p>To avoid depending on lock files, Jujutsu takes a different approach by accepting that concurrent changes can always happen. It instead exposes any conflicting changes to the user, much like other DVCSs do for conflicting changes made remotely.</p>"},{"location":"technical/concurrency/#syncing-with-rsync-nfs-dropbox-etc","title":"Syncing with <code>rsync</code>, NFS, Dropbox, etc","text":"<p>Jujutsu's lock-free concurrency means that it's possible to update copies of the clone on different machines and then let <code>rsync</code> (or Dropbox, or NFS, etc.) merge them.

If conflicting changes were made, they will appear as conflicts. For example, if a branch was moved to two different locations, they will appear in <code>jj log</code> in both locations but with a \"?\" after the name, and <code>jj status</code> will also inform the user about the conflict.</p> <p>Note that, for now, there are known bugs in this area.

If you know about the bug, it is relatively easy to recover from.</p> <p>Moreover, such use of Jujutsu is not currently thoroughly tested, especially in the context of co-located repositories.

That is what allows us to detect and merge concurrent operations.</p> <p>The operation log is similar to a commit DAG (such as in Git's object model), but each commit object is instead an \"operation\" and each tree object is instead a \"view\". The view object contains the set of visible head commits, branches, tags, and the working-copy commit in each workspace. The operation object contains a pointer to the view object (like how commit objects point to tree objects), pointers to parent operation(s) (like how commit objects point to parent commit(s)), and metadata about the operation. These types are defined in <code>op_store.proto</code> The operation log is normally linear. It becomes non-linear if there are concurrent operations.</p> <p>When a command starts, it loads the repo at the latest operation. Because the associated view object completely defines the repo state, the running command will not see any changes made by other processes thereafter. When the operation completes, it is written with the start operation as parent. The operation cannot fail to commit (except for disk failures and such). It is left for the next command to notice if there were concurrent operations. It will have to be able to do that anyway since the concurrent operation could have arrived via a distributed file system. This model -- where each operation sees a consistent view of the repo and is guaranteed to be able to commit their changes -- greatly simplifies the implementation of commands.</p> <p>It is possible to load the repo at a particular operation with <code>jj --at-operation=&lt;operation ID&gt; &lt;command&gt;</code>. If the command is mutational, that will result in a fork in the operation log. That works exactly the same as if any later operations had not existed when the command started. In other words, running commands on a repo loaded at an earlier operation works the same way as if the operations had been concurrent. This can be useful for simulating concurrent operations.</p>"},{"location":"technical/concurrency/#merging-concurrent-operations","title":"Merging concurrent operations","text":"<p>If Jujutsu tries to load the repo and finds multiple heads in the operation log, it will do a 3-way merge of the view objects based on their common ancestor (possibly several 3-way merges if there were more than two heads).

For example, if branch <code>main</code> was moved from commit A to commit B in one operation and moved to commit C in a concurrent operation, then <code>main</code> will be recorded as \"moved from A to B or C\". See the <code>RefTarget</code> definition in <code>op_store.proto</code>.</p> <p>Because we allow branches (etc.) to be in a conflicted state rather than just erroring out when there are multiple heads, the user can continue to use the repo, including performing further operations on the repo.

There will always be an odd number of trees linked from the commit. You can think of the first tree as a start tree, and the subsequent pairs of trees to apply the diff between onto the start. Examples:</p> <ul> <li>If the commit has trees A, B, C, D, and E it means that the contents should be   calculated as A+(C-B)+(E-D).</li> <li>A three-way merge between A and C with B as base can be represented as a commit with trees A, B, and C, also known as A+(C-B).</li> </ul> <p>The resulting tree contents is calculated on demand. Note that we often don't need to merge the entire tree. For example, when checking out a commit in the working copy, we only need to merge parts of the tree that differs from the tree that was previously checked out in the working copy. As another example, when listing paths with conflicts, we only need to traverse parts of the tree that cannot be trivially resolved; if only one side modified <code>lib/</code>, then we don't need to look for conflicts in that sub-tree.</p> <p>When merging trees, if we can't resolve a sub-tree conflict trivially by looking at just the tree id, we recurse into the sub-tree. Similarly, if we can't resolve a file conflict trivially by looking at just the id, we recursive into the hunks within the file.</p> <p>See here for how conflicts are stored when using the Git commit backend.</p>"},{"location":"technical/conflicts/#conflict-simplification","title":"Conflict simplification","text":"<p>Remember that a 3-way merge can be written <code>A+C-B</code>. If one of those states is itself a conflict, then we simply insert the conflict expression there. Then we simplify by removing canceling terms. These two steps are implemented in <code>Merge::flatten()</code> and <code>Merge::simplify()</code> in <code>merge.rs</code>.</p> <p>For example, let's say commit B is based on A and is rebased to C, where it results in conflicts (<code>B+C-A</code>), which the user leaves unresolved. If the commit is then rebased to D, the result will be <code>(B+C-A)+(D-C)</code> (<code>D-C</code> comes from changing the base from C to D). That expression can be simplified to <code>B+D-A</code>, which is a regular 3-way merge between B and D with A as base (no trace of C). This is what lets the user keep old commits rebased to head without resolving conflicts and still not get messy recursive conflicts.</p> <p>As another example, let's go through what happens when you back out a conflicted commit. Let's say we have the usual <code>B+C-A</code> conflict on top of non-conflict state C. We then back out that change. Backing out (\"reverting\" in Git-speak) a change means applying its reverse diff, so the result is <code>(B+C-A)+(A-(B+C-A))</code>, which we can simplify to just <code>A</code> (i.e. no conflict).</p>"}]}
