Generally yes, use jj instead of git for many/most of the commands. Per https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/git-compatibility/#co-located-jujutsugit-repos in a colocated repo some mixing of commands is possible but things might be confused when mixing mutating commands. Some obvious nice things to support with jj: * gbp clone: so you get jj client initialized * gbp dch: Being able submit the changelog natively * gbp pq: This feels like the killer feature, since managing commit chains in jj is much more pleasant. * gbp pull: May need to invoke jj to keep things consistent -- Eric Dorland <[email protected]> 43CF 1228 F726 FD5B 474C E962 C256 FBD5 0022 1E93
