Ok, I tried out the jj (jujutsu) version control system, read through v5.chriskrycho.com/essays/jj-in... and worked my way through steveklabnik.github.io/jujutsu-tuto... . Writing down my thoughts here: ⬇️
jj init — Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krycho
Jujutsu (`jj`) is a new version control system from a software developer at Google. I have been using it full time for 6 months. Here’s why you should switch, too.

First impressions:

1. jj is a better tool than git CLI by itself

2. compared to my current git+aliases+lazygit workflow:
a. conflict handling maybe jj's biggest advantage
b. interop with forges maybe its biggest issue

3. anonymous non-following branches seem the weirdest bit, but weird ≠ bad

What if we could actually do better than Git? I have spent the last six months using Jujutsu (jj), and… I think it actually has a shot.

I am so excited I also spent the last six months writing >10,000 words about it, so check it out! v5.chriskrycho.com/essays/jj-in...

Jujutsu (`jj`) is a new version control system from a software developer at Google. It seems promising, so I am giving it a try on a few personal projects.

@steamdb.info please add a Storage Space criterion to the Search page! that's one of the first things I wanna filter on these days, given that every game wants to take up 20+ GB of space!

I've barely opened Dota 2 since Deadlock came out! Is RingMaster fun?

Portal 2 was meatier than Portal, but still left me wanting more.

F.E.A.R. had me enjoying FPS like I never thought I would.
