Jujutsu (jj)

Jujutsu (or, simply, jj) is a Git-compatible version control system that is usually used in "colocated" form (that is, alongside the .git directory in the repository, there will also be a .jj directory; the presence of the latter can be used to infer that you are in a jj repository). When in a jj repository, you can still use Git commands to examine objects in the repository (for example, commands like git show, git log, and git grep) but when creating commits you should use jj commands.

Jujutsu's most distinctive feature is that it does not have a staging area. Any time you run a jj command, it will automatically create a snapshot of the working directory. jj respects .gitignore files and will not include them in snapshots. To stop tracking a file that was unintentionally included in a snapshot, modify .gitignore then use jj file untrack <file>....
