jj-graft-third-party

To graft upstream history into a monorepo using jj, you add a git remote for the upstream project, fetch its commits, and create a workspace that tracks the remote branch. This integrates the third-party repository history without duplicating work.

Yes, you can test upstream patches in your monorepo by creating a jj workspace that points to a remote branch. This exposes upstream commits inside the monorepo, allowing for integrated testing and local modifications.

Maintaining a fork with upstream tracking in a monorepo is done by adding the upstream repository as a git remote and fetching its history into your jj workspace. This provides a unified history view for coordinated development across the main repo and dependencies.

Yes, jj works with git remotes to integrate third-party repositories. You use jj to add remotes, fetch histories, and create workspaces that reference remote branches, bringing the external project history directly into your monorepo.

You develop features spanning a monorepo and a dependency by grafting the third-party repository history using jj. Adding a remote and creating a workspace that tracks the upstream branch enables coordinated development and patch testing.

Creating a jj workspace that points to a remote branch allows you to graft upstream history into your monorepo. It provides a unified history view, enabling local modifications and integrated testing of third-party code without duplicating work.
