Jujutsu megamerges for fun and profit

Article

• jj (Jujutsu) enables working on multiple changes in parallel, then splitting into branches
• “Megamerge” pattern: fan out parallel commits, merge all into a squash at the end
• absorb command auto-routes hunks to the correct downstream commit
• Uses git as backend — zero risk to try alongside existing git workflow

Discussion

• @quicksnap: jj is strictly better than git in every way; low-risk to try
• @the_data_nerd: jj doesn’t give parallelism, it makes context switching near-zero cost
• @umvi: skeptics say simple feature-branch/rebase git workflow already works fine
• Ecosystem tools praised: jjui TUI, jj parallelize, Discord community
