> A good way to think of it is that jj new is an empty git staging area. There's still a `jj commit` command that allows you to desc then jj new.

This always made me feel uncomfy using `jj`. Something that I didn't realise for a while is that `jj` automatically cleans up/garbage collects empty commits. I don't write as much code as I used to, but I still have to interact with, debug and test our product a _lot_ in order to support other engineers, so my workflow was effectively:

    git checkout master
    git fetch
    git rebase # can be just git pull but I've always preferred doing this independently
    _work_/investigate
    git checkout HEAD ./the-project # cleanup the things I changed while investigating

Running `jj new master@origin` felt odd because I was creating a commit, but... when I realised that those commits don't last, things felt better. When I then realised that if I made a change or two while investigating, that these were basically stashed for free, it actually improved my workflow. I don't often have to go back to them, but knowing that they're there has been nice!
