I know how to do everything in git that I can do in jj but the thing is I would never bother doing most of these workflows with git because it’s way more of a pain in the ass than with jj. I work with version control in a totally different way now because how easy jj makes it to edit the graph.

Within a day of switching I was fully up to speed with jj and I never see myself going back. I use colocated repos so I can still use git tools in my editor for blaming and viewing file history.

Sure even rebasing a complex tree in git can be done by creating an octopus merge of all leaf nodes and rebasing with preserve merges but like that’s such a pain.
