Less is More: Why I Replaced Git with Jujutsu.
Introduction
In computing, the aphorism “Less is More” comes up often. With Jujutsu (jj), it takes a very concrete form: a simpler mental model can reduce the daily friction of version control.
In this article1, I will not try to “prove” that jj is superior to git. I will show, on a concrete case, why some common operations: interrupting work in progress, reorganizing changes, fixing a non-atomic commit or resolving a conflict, become more natural with jj.
