  6. JJ doesn't directly touch the `.git` directory, it uses gitoxide¹ to perform git operations. ¹ https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide

  9. …uses it to power a git CLI called gix. As of October it looks like it can do fetches and clones: https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide/discussions/623 . Since the git CLI is subcommand-based, it wouldn't be too hard to provide replacements for…

  11. …be interesting to see where the gitoxide[1] project goes, being a rust implementation of git [1] https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide/

  15. Or my own project: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj . I think https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide also plans to provide a different CLI, but I don't think they've started working on it.

  16. For Rust, see https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide , which provides both a pure Rust library and a command-line tool built atop that library.
