VisualJJ – Jujutsu in Visual Studio Code

There's a different, open source Jujutsu extension as well: https://github.com/keanemind/jjk

It does look nice, I'll give it a go. Just wanted to say that "Git-out-of-the-way source control" is the best tiny description of JJ I've ever seen, because it's both true and the pun works perfectly. It brought me joy.

There is no reason to use a VS Code extension, jjui is amazing! https://github.com/idursun/jjui

I worked with JJ for half a year, and it was great. However, I've since decided to go back to GIT because of compatibility with existing workflows and AI tools.

Pre-commit hooks are not possible [yet?], which is a minor inconvenience. Worse, workspaces/worktrees use a different mechanism. This causes like Claude Desktop (which uses worktrees) to break. Also Claude and other agents are always confused about JJ and fall back to git too often.

I wanted the same extension but more steerable and open source, so I built open jj recently https://github.com/olup/open-jj

Just me or does sit well to monetize _mostly_ off the core benefits of an open source application?

Can't be easy to build a GUI on top, but I'm sure a 10% revenue to be redistributed to the hero behind jj would go a long way. Would also pay off.
