jj tends to use -i for 'interactive' to do what you do with -p in most git commands.

It is in fact a great tool, jj makes doing this even easier.



I'm sure it's great but I don't have the problems with git that others apparently do, so as to make it worth switching to a whole new mental mode of source code management.

At least uv solved real problems I was having with Python package management, but for my own personal usage git is 99% aligned with what I need.


I didn’t have problems with git either.

jj just makes all of the stuff I liked to do with git easier and faster, and lets me do some things you can’t do with git.

But you should use the tools you want to use.


Just FYI: The person you're responding to wrote a very popular tutorial on jj. He's been using git since the early days, and as he puts it:

> Now I am not one of those "the git CLI is too complex and git is too hard to learn" people, but I do acknowledge that puts me in the minority. But let's reframe that: if we can make something more powerful and easier? Sign me up!

That's nice.

I know of him better from his Rust work, but he explained himself well enough in his own comment that he probably doesn't need your assistance to reiterate a point he made very effectively on his own.

Also, he's not the only one who's used git since the early days.


I have no clue why you’re downvoted, I had upvoted you by the way.


Thanks. I was pretty snarky, in fairness, though I felt it was only matching the energy of that type of white knighting (which a decade ago I feel pretty sure would have gotten you downvoted into oblivion even on HN, but maybe I'm not hip with the times anymore! lol)
