For people who want Git's data model but a better CLI, check out https://github.com/martinvonz/jj . It's a more Mercurial-like CLI but you can use it with existing Git repos. It also includes undo functionality, anonymous branches and…

…SCM is compatible with Git, you may not have to learn much about Git. That's my hope for my SCM: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj . I agree that it seems very hard for a new SCM to get many users without having good compatibility with Git.

https://github.com/martinvonz/jj is a promising alternative which fixes many of the design mistakes of Git, but can still interact directly with Git repositories.

comment by arxanas · 2022-03-26 · in Fossil

There are probably a couple good ways to avoid trying to split `git add -p` with e.g. jujutsu `jj`? https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/git-comparis... If CI isn't running tests for every PR, `git add -p` can create pretty…

Yes, they are supported, and documented at https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/branches.md . I need to document better how to use them for common workflows like GitHub PRs. FYI, here's one way to use them with GitHub PRs: 1.…

Yep. Same thing in Jujutsu (the recursive merge is at https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/a6ef792ba66b5b19e75282... ). Probably the biggest difference compared Git there is that it'll still work even if there are conflicts. FYI, this is…

I filed https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/61 about having Nix packages. I should learn about Nix packaging some day, but I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Yes, no staging area. Does https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/git-comparis... help address your concern?

Note, though, that it depends on libgit2 (which is written in C). (As pointed out by someone in https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/56 .)

I'd like to think it was my project ( https://github.com/martinvonz/jj ), but other possibilities include Gitless ( https://gitless.com/ ) or Bazaar ( https://bazaar.canonical.com/ ).

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.
