SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges the gap for developers transitioning from Git's interactive rebase to Jujutsu, providing a comprehensive mapping of Git operations to their direct Jujutsu equivalents and highlighting Jujutsu's advanced capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct Operation Mapping: Translates every Git interactive rebase command (pick, reword, squash, drop, etc.) to its corresponding jj command.
  • Paradigm Shift Explanation: Clearly contrasts Git's batch, mode-based rebasing with Jujutsu's atomic, direct editing model.
  • Advanced Jujutsu Features: Introduces concepts like the operation log, parallel editing, jj absorb, and revsets, which have no direct Git equivalent.
  • Use Case: A developer familiar with git rebase -i can use this Skill to quickly find the jj command for rewording a commit, squashing multiple commits, or reordering history without needing to learn a new complex workflow.

Quick Start

Explain how to reword a commit using Jujutsu.

Frequently Asked Questions about jj-git-interactive-rebase-to-jj

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How does interactive rebase work in Jujutsu compared to Git?▼

Jujutsu replaces Git's interactive rebase with an atomic, direct editing model. Instead of opening a text editor for batch operations, you modify history directly using `jj` commands for a simpler workflow.

How do I squash or reword commits using jj instead of git rebase?▼

To squash or reword commits in Jujutsu, use direct `jj` commands like `jj squash` and `jj describe`. This maps Git's interactive rebase actions into atomic operations without launching a rebase session.

What is the equivalent of git rebase -i pick and drop in Jujutsu?▼

Jujutsu maps Git's `pick` and `drop` to direct history editing. You reorder changes by moving revisions with `jj` commands, and drop commits by abandoning them using `jj abandon`.

Can I use Jujutsu for history rewriting if I only know Git?▼

Yes, developers familiar with Git can use Jujutsu for history rewriting. The paradigm shift moves from Git's batch operations to Jujutsu's direct editing model for modifying commits.

What unique history manipulation features does Jujutsu have that Git lacks?▼

Jujutsu introduces advanced features with no direct Git equivalent, such as the operation log for undoing changes, parallel editing, `jj absorb` for automatically amending changes, and revsets for querying history.
