Why HN links it

HN readers link these notes for side-by-side comparisons of Jujutsu (jj) and git, such as a miniature example of a rebase operation. Commenters say the comparisons made jj click for them.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

    Not a whole list of operations, but this comparison of one common operation between jj and git is what made it click for me. https://lottia.net/notes/0013-git-jujutsu-miniature.html

    Here's the post that made it click for me. It works through a practical example in both git and jj. https://lottia.net/notes/0013-git-jujutsu-miniature.html

    This is the post that made jj click for me, and not coincidentally it is about a rebase operation that feels complicated in git but trivial in jj. https://lottia.net/notes/0013-git-jujutsu-miniature.html
