I am not learning to fight. I am learning the Jujutsu version control system! I've used git almost my entire programming career, and I've learned to use it well^[1]. Over the years I've acquired the ability to do rebase workflows, stacked branches, fixups, reordering, staging changes using git add -p, and many other things. I've got a whole mess of git command aliases I'm hoarding like some kind of Tolkien dragon. I've learned the magic spells but still aren't a master of them. Even armed with this secret arcane knowledge, git is still a very confounding and difficult tool to use.

JJ - the abbreviated name of Jujutsu - immediately solves many of the problems I encounter when using git. JJ has a markedly different set of ideas compared to git. Unfrtunately that means my git knowledge doesn't fully transfer, but I think that is alright. JJ actually makes a lot of that knowledge no longer needed. It is a much simpler tool to use and understand and I think that is really exciting.
