I’ve been hearing a lot about Jujutsu VCS lately, and when I say a lot I mean maybe 5 times this year. But that is a lot for a new VCS I would say.

The article I came across mostly goes through the flexibility of Jujutsu VCS over Git , or at least that’s as far as I managed to read before I lost interest. I was thinking “you can easily do this using Git???”, but then I realized that I’ve actually never used Git for almost anything besides cloning repositories… I’ve always been using Magit for almost everything.

Sometimes I think whether it would have been better if I started using Git CLI and then switched to Magit, that way I would really understand why it’s called that way, rather than taking all the amazing work behind it for granted. But I think afterall I wouldn’t have discovered Git commands so early in my career if I had just used the Git CLI from the start. I remember I was stashing my code changes back in my early career while other coworkers were struggling to move to another branch without losing their changes.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t all what Jujutsu is about, but now I really don’t feel like giving it a try anytime soon because of that article.
