SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

JJ provides a Git-like history manager where commits are mutable Change IDs, enabling safer rewriting, squashing, and PR workflows without losing context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mutable history: Change IDs persist across rewrites to keep history intact during rebases or amendments.
  • Branching & PRs: Bookmarks act as branches, integrated with GitHub PR workflows.
  • Team collaboration: Streamline collaborative feature work with predictable history and review processes.

Quick Start

Explain how to create a new feature using JJ: make changes in your working copy, describe the change with jj describe -m "feat: ...", create a bookmark with jj bookmark create feat-branch, push with jj git push, and open a PR with gh pr create.
