jj

brew install jj v0.42.0 Apache-2.0

Git-compatible distributed version control system written in Rust with advanced features like automatic conflict resolution and atomic operations.

Why you might care

Jujutsu (jj) offers a modern take on Git with a more intuitive workflow, powerful built-in conflict resolution, and support for workflows that are awkward in Git (like stacked diffs and rewrites). It can interoperate with Git repositories, making it a drop-in alternative for teams wanting Git compatibility without Git's workflow constraints.

You use it to get a copy of your code, track changes\nto the code, and finally publish those changes for others to see and use.\nIt is designed from the ground up to be easy to use\u2014whether you\u0027re new or\nexperienced, working on brand new projects alone, or large scale software\nprojects with large histories and teams.\n\nJujutsu is unlike most other systems, because internally it abstracts the user\ninterface and version control algorithms from the *storage systems* used to\nserve your content. This allows it to serve as a VCS with many possible physical\nbackends, that may have their own d",
