I worked with JJ for half a year, and it was great. However, I've since decided to go back to GIT because of compatibility with existing workflows and AI tools.<p>Pre-commit hooks are not possible [yet?], which is a minor inconvenience. Worse, workspaces/worktrees use a different mechanism. This causes like Claude Desktop (which uses worktrees) to break. Also Claude and other agents are always confused about JJ and fall back to git too often.

There's a different, open source Jujutsu extension as well: <a href="https://github.com/keanemind/jjk" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/keanemind/jjk</a>

It does look nice, I'll give it a go. Just wanted to say that "Git-out-of-the-way source control" is the best tiny description of JJ I've ever seen, because it's both true and the pun works perfectly. It brought me joy.

I wanted the same extension but more steerable and open source, so I built open jj recently <a href="https://github.com/olup/open-jj" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/olup/open-jj</a>

Just me or does sit well to monetize _mostly_ off the core benefits of an open source application?<p>Can't be easy to build a GUI on top, but I'm sure a 10% revenue to be redistributed to the hero behind jj would go a long way. Would also pay off.
