A next-generation VCS combining Git compatibility with innovative features like automatic rebasing, operation logs, and conflict resolution. Simplifies workflows for developers of all levels.

Jujutsu is a powerful version control system designed to simplify how you manage code history. Unlike traditional systems, it abstracts the user interface from storage backends, allowing flexibility while maintaining full Git compatibility for seamless integration with existing tools and workflows.

Key innovations include:

Working-copy-as-commit: Changes are automatically recorded as commits and amended on every modification, eliminating the need for staging areas or stashes
Operation log: Every repository action is recorded, making it easy to understand what happened and undo mistakes
Automatic rebasing: When you modify a commit, all descendant commits are automatically rebased, enabling smooth patch-based workflows
Built-in conflict tracking: Conflicts are first-class objects recorded as part of commits, with resolutions automatically propagated to descendants
Simple TUI: Navigate history and view changes without unnecessary complexity

Designed for software engineers, programmers, and developers seeking a clearer alternative to traditional version control systems. Whether you're working solo on hobby projects or collaborating on large-scale software with extensive histories, Jujutsu provides powerful primitives for rewriting history while maintaining Git interoperability. The tool is relatively young but actively developed, with a supportive community ready to help you get started.
