Comparison with Git
TODO: Describe the differences compared to Git here
Command equivalence table
Note that all jj 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. For example,
jj squash -r <revision> will move the diff from that revision into its parent.
| Use case | Jujutsu command | Git command |
|---|---|---|
| Create a new repo | jj init --git (without --git, you get a
native Jujutsu repo, which is slow and whose format will change) |
git init |
| Clone an existing repo | jj git clone <source> <destination> (there is no support
for cloning non-Git repos yet) |
git clone <source> <destination> |
| Show summary of current work and repo status | jj st |
git st |
| Show diff of the current change | jj diff |
git diff HEAD |
| Show diff of another change | jj diff -r <revision> |
git diff <revision>^ <revision> |
| Add a file to the current change | touch filename |
touch filename; git add filename |
| Remove a file from the current change | rm filename |
git rm filename |
| Modify a file in the current change | echo stuff >> filename |
echo stuff >> filename; git add filename |
| Finish work on the current change and start a new change | jj close |
git commit -a |
| See log of commits | jj log |
git log --oneline --graph --decorate |
| Abandon the current change and start a new change | jj prune |
git reset --hard (cannot be undone) |
| Make the current change empty | jj restore |
git reset --hard (same as abandoning a change since Git
has no concept of a "change") |
| Edit description (commit message) of the current change | jj describe |
Not supported |
| Edit description (commit message) of the previous change | jj describe :@ |
git commit --amend (first make sure that nothing is
staged) |
| Temporarily put away the current change | Not needed | git stash |
| Start working on a new change based on the <main> branch | jj co main |
git checkout -b topic main (may need to stash or commit
first) |
| Move branch A onto branch B | Not supported yet (can be emulated with
jj rebase -s) |
git rebase B A
(may need to rebase other descendant branches separately) |
| Move change A and its descendants onto change B | jj rebase -s A -d B |
git rebase --onto B A^ <some descendant branch>
(may need to rebase other descendant branches separately) |
| Reorder changes from A-B-C-D to A-C-B-D | jj rebase -r C -d A; rebase -s B -d C (pass change ids,
not commit ids, to not have to look up commit id of rewritten C) |
git rebase -i A |
| Move the diff in the current change into the parent change | jj squash |
git commit --amend -a |
| Interactively move part of the diff in the current change into the parent change | jj squash -i |
git add -p; git commit --amend |
| Interactively split a change in two | jj split -r <revision> |
Not supported (can be emulated with the "edit" action in
git rebase -i) |
| Interactively edit the diff in a given change | jj edit -r <revision> |
Not supported (can be emulated with the "edit" action in
git rebase -i) |
| Resolve conflicts and continue interrupted operation | echo resolved > filename; jj squash (operations don't
get interrupted, so no need to continue) |
echo resolved > filename; git add filename; git
rebase/merge/cherry-pick --continue |
| List branches | jj branches |
git branch |
| Create a branch | jj branch <name> -r <revision> |
git branch <name> <revision> |
| Move a branch forward | jj branch <name> -r <revision> |
git branch -f <name> <revision> |
| Move a branch backward or sideways | jj branch <name> -r <revision> --allow-backwards |
git branch -f <name> <revision> |
| Delete a branch | jj branch --delete <name> |
git branch --delete <name> |
| See log of operations performed on the repo | jj op log |
Not supported |
| Undo an earlier operation | jj op undo -o <operation id> |
Not supported |
