FAQPage Schema
What is Jujutsu's atomic commit workflow and how does it work?

Jujutsu's atomic commit workflow automatically snapshots your working directory as an empty commit. This means your changes are continuously tracked, allowing you to easily undo operations and manage code revisions without explicit staging.

How do I manage parallel feature branches using Jujutsu workspaces?

You can use Jujutsu workspaces to manage parallel feature branches by creating multiple working copies that share the same repository. This allows simultaneous experimentation and development across different bookmarks.

Can I use Jujutsu with my existing Git repositories?

Yes, Jujutsu integrates directly with Git. It operates on Git repositories natively, allowing you to leverage atomic commits and history refinement while maintaining compatibility with existing Git workflows.

What is the best way to recover lost changes when experimenting in Jujutsu?

The best way to recover lost changes in Jujutsu is the operation log. It tracks all repository mutations, allowing you to undo operations and restore previous states without fear of losing progress.

How do I clean up and refine commit history in Jujutsu?

You can clean up commit history in Jujutsu by splitting, squashing, and rebasing changes. Jujutsu's atomic model allows safe history refinement for clarity and review without complex interactive commands.

Does Jujutsu support non-interactive command execution for history refinement?

Yes, Jujutsu supports non-interactive command execution. This allows you to script history refinement and conflict resolution workflows directly from the command line without manual editor interaction.
