jujutsu is a fresh take on git-- you describe the work you’re about to do with
jj new -m 'message'. Do the work. Anything not previously ignored in.gitignoreis ready to commit withjj ci. You don’t have togit addanything. No futzing with stashes to switch or refocus work. Need that file back?jj restore FILENAME.It’s very optimistic to think people will be able to describe what they’re going to do before they do it. I find things rarely go exactly as planned and my commit messages usually include some nuance about my changes that I didn’t anticipate.

jj ciyou’re plonked into an editor and can change the description.
