FAQPage Schema
How do I use jj for version control in a colocated Git repository?▼

Jj version control in a colocated Git repository operates natively on your existing Git history, allowing you to manage commits and diffs without a staging area while maintaining full interop with Git remotes.

What is the best way to manage bookmarks and rewrite history with jj?▼

Managing bookmarks and rewriting history with jj involves using bookmark-centric commands to navigate, create, and rebase commits predictably, streamlining collaborative workflows without manual staging.

Can I push and pull changes to Git remotes using jj workflows?▼

Git remote interop is fully supported in colocated jj workflows, enabling standard push and pull operations across remotes while using jj to handle local history editing and bookmark management.

Do I need a staging area to create commits with jj?▼

Creating commits with jj does not require a staging area; you can make file changes and directly use jj new or jj describe to commit, bypassing Git's index entirely for a faster workflow.

What prerequisites are needed to automate jj version control workflows?▼

Automating jj version control workflows requires a local jj installation and standard shell tooling to execute commands, operating without network exfiltration or destructive actions.

How does jj interop handle history editing when mixed with Git teams?▼

Jj interop handles mixed Git team workflows by applying predictable history edits, squashes, and rebases locally via jj, then synchronizing the results seamlessly to the underlying Git repository.
