Ilya Grigoriev f67d6a192c docs SEO (direct website push): Use "latest" URL as canonical URL for older versions
The replacement was done by `sed`.

This should only change versions of the docs prior to 864869ab (in
particular, not the `latest` version nor the `prerelease` version), and
make it as though the old version of the docs were compiled with that
commit. It tries to solve the same problem:
https://www.google.com/search?q=jj+revsets still points to jj v0.13
docs.

Google seems really slow to update its index, and I'm beginning to worry
that it might think we have a spammy site with many almost identical
pages. I hope it will pick up this change once it tries to update its
crawl of pages it's already indexing.

<h3 id="why-does-my-branch-not-move-to-the-new-commit-after-jj-newcommit">Why does my branch not move to the new commit after <code>jj new/commit</code>?<a class="headerlink" href="#why-does-my-branch-not-move-to-the-new-commit-after-jj-newcommit" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>If you're familiar with Git, you might expect the current branch to move forward
when you commit. However, Jujutsu does not have a concept of a "current branch".</p>
<p>To move branches, use <code>jj branch set</code>.</p>
<h3 id="i-made-a-commit-and-jj-git-push-all-says-nothing-changed-instead-of-pushing-it-what-do-i-do">I made a commit and <code>jj git push --all</code> says "Nothing changed" instead of pushing it. What do I do?<a class="headerlink" href="#i-made-a-commit-and-jj-git-push-all-says-nothing-changed-instead-of-pushing-it-what-do-i-do" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p><code>jj git push --all</code> pushes all <em>branches</em>, not all revisions. You have two
options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using <code>jj git push --change</code> will automatically create a branch and push it.</li>
<li>Using <code>jj branch</code> commands to create or move a branch to either the commit
you want to push or a descendant on it. Unlike Git, Jujutsu doesn't do this
automatically (see previous question).</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="where-is-my-commit-why-is-it-not-visible-in-jj-log">Where is my commit, why is it not visible in <code>jj log</code>?<a class="headerlink" href="#where-is-my-commit-why-is-it-not-visible-in-jj-log" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Is your commit visible with <code>jj log -r 'all()'</code>?</p>
<p>If yes, you should be aware that <code>jj log</code> only shows the revisions matching
<code>revsets.log</code> by default. You can change it as described in <a href="config.html">config</a> to show
more revisions.</p>
<p>If not, the revision may have been abandoned (e.g. because you
used <code>jj abandon</code>, or because it's an obsolete version that's been rewritten
with <code>jj rebase</code>, <code>jj describe</code>, etc). In that case, <code>jj log -r commit_id</code>
should show the revision as "hidden". <code>jj new commit_id</code> should make the
revision visible again.</p>
<p>See <a href="revsets.html">revsets</a> and <a href="templates.html">templates</a> for further guidance.</p>
<h3 id="can-i-prevent-jujutsu-from-recording-my-unfinished-work-im-not-ready-to-commit-it">Can I prevent Jujutsu from recording my unfinished work? I'm not ready to commit it.<a class="headerlink" href="#can-i-prevent-jujutsu-from-recording-my-unfinished-work-im-not-ready-to-commit-it" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Jujutsu automatically records new files in the current working-copy commit and
doesn't provide a way to prevent that.</p>
<p>However, you can easily record intermediate drafts of your work. If you think
you might want to go back to the current state of the working-copy commit,
simply use <code>jj new</code>. There's no need for the commit to be "finished" or even
have a description.</p>
<p>Then future edits will go into a new working-copy commit on top of the now
former working-copy commit. Whenever you are happy with another set of edits,
use <code>jj squash</code> to amend the previous commit.</p>
<p>For more options see the next question.</p>
<h3 id="can-i-add-a-portion-of-the-edits-i-made-to-a-file-similarly-to-git-add-p-or-hg-commit-i">Can I add a portion of the edits I made to a file, similarly to <code>git add -p</code> or <code>hg commit -i</code>?<a class="headerlink" href="#can-i-add-a-portion-of-the-edits-i-made-to-a-file-similarly-to-git-add-p-or-hg-commit-i" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>At the moment the best options to partially add a file are: <code>jj split</code>,
<code>jj amend -i</code> and <code>jj move -i</code>.</p>
<h3 id="is-there-something-like-git-rebase-interactive-or-hg-histedit">Is there something like <code>git rebase --interactive</code> or <code>hg histedit</code>?<a class="headerlink" href="#is-there-something-like-git-rebase-interactive-or-hg-histedit" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Not yet, you can check <a href="https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/1531">this issue</a> for updates.</p>
<p>To reorder commits, it is for now recommended to rebase commits individually,
which may require multiple invocations of <code>jj rebase -r</code> or <code>jj rebase -s</code>.</p>
<p>To squash or split commits, use <code>jj squash</code> and <code>jj split</code>.</p>
<h3 id="how-can-i-keep-my-scratch-files-in-the-repository">How can I keep my scratch files in the repository?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-can-i-keep-my-scratch-files-in-the-repository" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>You can keep your notes and other scratch files in the repository, if you add
a wildcard pattern to either the repo's <code>gitignore</code> or your global <code>gitignore</code>.
Something like <code>*.scratch</code> or <code>*.scratchpad</code> should do, after that rename the
files you want to keep around to match the pattern.</p>
<p>If <code>$EDITOR</code> integration is important, something like <code>scratchpad.*</code> may be more
helpful, as you can keep the filename extension intact (it
matches <code>scratchpad.md</code>, <code>scratchpad.rs</code> and more).</p>
<p>You can find more details on <code>gitignore</code> files <a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore">here</a>.</p>

<p>In general, you should separate out the changes to their own commit (using
e.g. <code>jj split</code>). After that, one possible workflow is to rebase your pending
PRs on top of the commit with the local changes. Then, just before pushing to a
remote, use <code>jj rebase -s child_of_commit_with_local_changes -d main</code> to move
the PRs back on top of <code>main</code>.</p>
<p>If you have several PRs, you can
try <code>jj rebase -s all:commit_with_local_changes+ -d main</code>
(note the <code>+</code>) to move them all at once.</p>
<p>An alternative workflow would be to rebase the commit with local changes on
top of the PR you're working on and then do <code>jj new commit_with_local_changes</code>.
You'll then need to use <code>jj new --before</code> to create new commits
and <code>jj move --to</code>
to move new changes into the correct commits.</p>
