@dfortes@mastodon.social @ieure@retro.social the trick to being comfortable with git is to use a front-end that doesn't suck. I use magit myself, but from what I've heard there are others as well. I think that's all jj really is anyway, no?

@lhp@mastodon.social @dfortes@mastodon.social I've never used it, but skimming the README, that does not appear to be the case. It does significantly more, and also supports non-Git backends with the same interface.

@lhp@mastodon.social @ieure@retro.social I used to use lazygit and it was good enough... But jj is really more than that. For instance, I really like that it doesn't have a staging area. Everything is always tracked automatically and you can jump to revisions easily at any time (no need to worry about unstaged changes)
