I’m still a huge fan of git but there have been a few posts on Hacker News that have been highly positive towards jj so I’m curious. Also, it is entirely backwards compatible with git and you can use jj against a git repo so your team doesn’t have to migrate to anything new.

I'm just trying to see if I can understand the recent hype for jj and use it for something real.

A simple example is the gitconfig in my dotfiles... I have local changes that are OS-specific (Mac or Windows usually) that shouldn't get pushed. Granted, I could probably use some sort of includeIf directive, but it feels complicated. Maybe I'm just too used to git, though.

Yep, I'm on the Arc train here, too... I've become quite fond of side tabs plus profiles plus spaces. Even on the mobile side.

If you run into any trouble with it, feel free to ping me... note that downloading the archive takes about a day. After that, though, I just set up a local .env file pointing to my archive with my configured app password. It looked something like this.
