jj Workflow

Tables, git equivalents, troubleshooting, and the revset cheatsheet: REFERENCE.md.

House style

1. Descriptions are mandatory. Never leave the working copy as "(no description set)".
2. Bookmarks exist for GitHub, not for you. Work with anonymous changes; add bookmarks only when pushing.
3. Use absorb over manual squash routing. Let jj distribute hunks to the right ancestor.

Non-interactive split

jj split needs both filesets and -m:

jj split -r <rev> -m "first part" path/a path/b   # rest stays in the child commit
