About Jujutsu
Jujutsu, also called jj, is a version control system that works with Git repositories. It aims for a simpler model than Git while keeping Git compatibility.
What it does
jj lets you work with files and commits through a small set of commands. It can use an existing Git repository as its storage, so you can keep using Git remotes. The project documents its concepts, guides and command reference on its docs site. Releases are listed in a public changelog, and a development roadmap is published too.
