alt Hacker NewsI consider git the best software ever written. I used to work with some other SVCs, and I cannot thinking on leaving git now. Somehow, I feel it like a limitation for my mind.
I'm following this Jujutsu project, I'm genuinely curious to see what it can bring to the SVC scene.

How so? I worked with Git all my professional life and I can't deny its efficacy. However, I would not call it un-improvable given all types of corner case issues I have had with it over the years.

No software that has 3 names for the same thing (git stash —cached vs —keep-index wtf‽) deserves to be described as “the best ever written”

I think Git is incredible version control hiding behind a terrible interface.

Having worked with cvs and svn, git has been an absolute blast.
That said, the first thing I do now in a repo is jj init --colocate. The fact alone that there is an operation log in jj, so you can easily revert your last command, or go back to any point you want, is mind blowing coming from git and having experienced frantically digging through the reflog.
But that aside, the way to work with branches ahem bookmarks, commits, conflicts, just makes so much sense in a world where simultaneous feature branches are a thing.
