You can literally jump into a commit and edit its contents directly, and everything is auto-rebased on top.

There are no modal “sorry rebase failed, best of luck” gotchas. There are no “oops I put the wrong thing in the wrong part of the rebase and now I have to abort and start all over” gotchas.

It’s rebase, but without all the extra work, mental overhead, failure cases, and effort.

How does it just auto-rebase everything without failing though? If you edit something later commits depend on, then you get merge conflicts. Are you implying that jj just automatically handles all this?
