Jujutsu VCS: Streamlining Code Merges and Branch Management
2024-12-25
This article presents a highly efficient workflow for managing code merges and branches using the Jujutsu version control system. The author introduces a 'megamerge' approach: create a merge commit as a working area, and then use `jj squash` to integrate changes into the appropriate parent commits upon completion of each task. Further streamlining is achieved with the `jj absorb` command, which automates this integration process. This workflow allows developers to seamlessly manage multiple parallel streams of work, significantly boosting efficiency, particularly when tackling large, long-running upgrades. The author contrasts this with the complexities of achieving the same results with Git.
