Deprecations
New features
Fixed bugs
[0.19.0] - 2024-07-03
Breaking changes
-
In revset aliases, top-level
kind:pattern
expression is now parsed as modifier. Surround with parentheses if it should be parsed as string/file pattern. -
Dropped support for automatic upgrade of repo formats used by versions before 0.12.0.
-
jj fix
now defaults to the broader revset-s reachable(@, mutable())
instead of-s @
. -
Dropped support for deprecated
jj branch delete
/forget
--glob
option. -
jj branch set
now creates new branch if it doesn't exist. Usejj branch move
to ensure that the target branch already exists. #3584
Deprecations
-
Replacing
-l
shorthand for--limit
with-n
injj log
,jj op log
andjj obslog
. -
jj split --siblings
is deprecated in favor ofjj split --parallel
(to matchjj parallelize
). -
A new
jj file
subcommand now replaces several existing uncategorized commands, which are deprecated.jj file show
replacesjj cat
.jj file chmod
replacesjj chmod
.jj file list
replacesjj files
.
New features
-
Support background filesystem monitoring via watchman triggers enabled with the
core.watchman.register_snapshot_trigger = true
config. -
Show paths to config files when configuration errors occur.
-
jj fix
now supports configuring the default revset for-s
using therevsets.fix
config. -
The
descendants()
revset function now accepts an optionaldepth
argument; like theancestors()
depth argument, it limits the depth of the set. -
Revset/template aliases now support function overloading. #2966
-
Conflicted files are individually simplified before being materialized.
-
The
jj file
subcommand now contains several existing file utilities.jj file show

replacingjj chmod
.jj file list
replacingjj files
.
-
New command
jj branch move
let you update branches by name pattern or source revision. -
New diff option
jj diff --name-only
allows for easier shell scripting. -
In color-words diffs, hunks are now highlighted with underline. See diff colors and styles for customization.
-
jj git push -c <arg>
can now accept revsets that resolve to multiple revisions. This means thatjj git push -c xyz -c abc
is now equivalent tojj git push -c 'all:(xyz | abc)'
. -
jj prev
andjj next
have gained a--conflict
flag which moves you to the next conflict in a child commit. -
New command
jj git remote set-url
that sets the url of a git remote. -
Author timestamp is now reset when rewriting discardable commits (empty commits with no description) if authored by the current user. #2000

now accepts--reset-author
option to matchjj describe
. -
jj squash
now accepts a--keep-emptied
option to keep the source commit. -

merge-tools.$TOOL.diff-invocation-mode="file-by-file"
in config.toml.
Fixed bugs
-
jj git push
now ignores immutable commits when checking whether a to-be-pushed commit has conflicts, or has no description / committer / author set. #3029 -
jj
will look for divergent changes outside the short prefix set even if it finds the change id inside the short prefix set. #2476

[0.18.0] - 2024-06-05
Breaking changes
-
Dropped support for
ui.default-revset
config (replaced byrevsets.log
in 0.8.0). -
The
commit_summary_no_branches
template is superseded bytemplates.branch_list
. -
jj split
will now refuse to split an empty commit. -
jj config list
now uses multi-line strings and single-quoted strings in the output when appropriate. -
jj config get
/list
/set
now parsename
argument as TOML key. Quote meta characters as needed. Example:jj config get "revset-aliases.'trunk()'"
-
When updating the working copy away from an empty and undescribed commit, it is now abandoned even if it is a merge commit.
-
If a new working-copy commit is created because the old one was abandoned, and the old commit was merge, then the new commit will now also be. #2859
-
jj new
's--insert-before
/--insert-after
options must now be set for each commit the new commit will be inserted before/after. Previously, those options were global flags and specifying them once would insert the new commit before/ after all the specified commits.
Deprecations
- Attempting to alias a built-in command now gives a warning, rather than being silently ignored.
New features
-
jj branch list
/tag list
now accept-T
/--template
option. The tag list prints commit summary along with the tag name by default. -
Conflict markers now include an explanation of what each part of the conflict represents.
-
ui.color = "debug"
prints active labels alongside the regular colored output. -
jj branch track
now show conflicts if there are some. -
A new revset
reachable(srcs, domain)
will return all commits that are reachable fromsrcs
withindomain
. -
There are now prebuilt binaries for
aarch64-linux-unknown-musl
. Note, these are cross compiled and currently untested. We plan on providing fully tested builds later once our CI system allows it. -
Added new revsets
mutable()
andimmutable()
. -
Upgraded
scm-record
from v0.2.0 to v0.3.0. See release notes at https://github.com/arxanas/scm-record/releases/tag/v0.3.0 -
New command
jj fix
that can be configured to update commits by running code formatters (or similar tools) on changed files. The configuration schema and flags are minimal for now, with a number of improvements planned (for example, #3800 and #3801). -
jj new
's--insert-before
and--insert-after
options can now be used simultaneously. -
jj git push
now can push commits with empty descriptions with the--allow-empty-description
flag
Fixed bugs
-
Previously,
jj git push
only made sure that the branch is in the expected location on the remote server when pushing a branch forward (as opposed to sideways or backwards). Now,jj git push
makes a safety check in all cases and fails wheneverjj git fetch
would have introduced a conflict.In other words, previously branches that moved sideways or backward were pushed similarly to Git's
git push --force
; now they have protections similar togit push --force-with-lease
(though not identical to it, to match the behavior ofjj git fetch
). Note also that because of the wayjj git fetch
works,jj
does not suffer from the same problems as Git'sgit push --force-with-lease
in situations whengit fetch
is run in the background. -
When the working copy commit becomes immutable, a new one is automatically created on top of it to avoid letting the user edit the immutable one.
-
jj config list
now properly escapes TOML keys (#1322). -
Files with conflicts are now checked out as executable if all sides of the conflict are executable.
-
The progress bar (visible when using e.g.
jj git clone
) clears the remainder of the cursor row after drawing rather than clearing the entire row before drawing, eliminating the "flicker" effect seen on some terminals.

[0.17.1] - 2024-05-07
Fixed bugs
jj status
no longer scans through the entire history to look for ancestors with conflicts.
[0.17.0] - 2024-05-01
Breaking changes
-
The default template aliases were replaced as follows:
builtin_op_log_root(op_id: OperationId)
->format_root_operation(root: Operation)
builtin_log_root(change_id: ChangeId, commit_id: CommitId)
->format_root_commit(root: Commit)
builtin_change_id_with_hidden_and_divergent_info
->format_short_change_id_with_hidden_and_divergent_info(commit: Commit)
-
The
--revision
option ofjj rebase
is renamed to--revisions
. The short alias-r
is still supported.
New features
-
The list of conflicted paths is printed whenever the working copy changes. This can be disabled with the
--quiet
option. -
Commit objects in templates now have a
mine() -> Boolean
method analog to the same function in revsets. It evaluates to true if the email of the commit author matches the currentuser.email
. -
Commit objects in templates now have a
contained_in(revset: String) -> Boolean
method. -
Operation objects in templates now have a
snapshot() -> Boolean
method that evaluates to true if the operation was a snapshot created by a non-mutating command (e.g.jj log
). -
Revsets and templates now support single-quoted raw string literals.
-
A new config option
ui.always-allow-large-revsets
has been added to allow large revsets expressions in some commands, without theall:
prefix. -
A new config option
ui.allow-filesets
has been added to enable "fileset" expressions. Note that filesets are currently experimental, but will be enabled by default in a future release. -
A new global flag
--ignore-immutable
lets you rewrite immutable commits. -
New command
jj parallelize
that rebases a set of revisions into siblings. -
jj status
now supports filtering by paths. For example,jj status .
will only list changed files that are descendants of the current directory. -
jj prev
andjj next
now work when the working copy revision is a merge. -
jj squash
now accepts a--use-destination-message/-u
option that uses the description of the destination for the new squashed revision and discards the descriptions of the source revisions. -
You can check whether Watchman fsmonitor is enabled or installed with the new
jj debug watchman status
command. -
jj rebase
now accepts revsets resolving to multiple revisions with the--revisions
/-r
option. -
jj rebase -r
now accepts--insert-after
and--insert-before
options to customize the location of the rebased revisions.
Fixed bugs
-
Revsets now support
\
-escapes in string literal. -
The builtin diff editor now allows empty files to be selected during
jj split
. -
Fixed a bug with
jj split
introduced in 0.16.0 that caused it to incorrectly rebase the children of the revision being split if they had other parents (i.e. if the child was a merge). -
The
snapshot.max-new-file-size
option can now handle raw integer literals, interpreted as a number of bytes, where previously it could only handle string literals. This means thatsnapshot.max-new-file-size="1"
andsnapshot.max-new-file-size=1
are now equivalent. -
jj squash <path>
is now a no-op if the path argument didn't match any paths (it used to create new commits with bumped timestamp). #3334

jj move
was deprecated in favor ofjj squash
.
Breaking changes
-
The
git_head
template keyword now returns an optional value instead of a list of 0 or 1 element. -
The
jj sparse set --edit
/--reset
flags were split up intojj sparse edit
/reset
subcommands respectively. -
The
jj sparse
subcommands now parse and print patterns as workspace-relative paths. -

jj squash
now accepts--from
and--into
(also aliased as--to

[0.15.1] - 2024-03-06
No code changes (fixing Rust Cargo.toml
stuff).
[0.15.0] - 2024-03-06
Breaking changes
-
The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.76.0.
-
The on-disk index format changed. New index files will be created automatically, but it can fail if the repository is co-located and predates Git GC issues #815. If reindexing failed, you'll need to clean up corrupted operation history by
jj op abandon ..<bad operation ID>
. -
Dropped support for the "legacy" graph-drawing style. Use "ascii" for a very similar result.
-
The default log output no longer lists all tagged heads. Set
revsets.log = "@ | ancestors(immutable_heads().., 2) | heads(immutable_heads())"
to restore the old behavior. -
Dropped support for the deprecated
:
revset operator. Use::
instead. -
jj rebase --skip-empty
no longer abandons commits that were already empty before the rebase.
New features
-
Partial support for commit signing. Currently you can configure jj to "keep" commit signatures by making new ones for rewritten commits, and to sign new commits when they are created.
This comes with out-of-the-box support for the following backends:
- GnuPG
- SSH
Signature verification and an explicit sign command will hopefully come soon.
-
Templates now support logical operators:
||
,&&
,!
-
Templates now support the
self
keyword, which is the current commit injj log
/obslog
templates. -
jj show
now accepts-T
/--template
option to render its output using template -
jj config list
now accepts-T
/--template
option. -
jj git fetch
now accepts-b
as a shorthand for--branch
, making it more consistent with other commands that accept a branch -
In the templating language, Timestamps now have a
.local()
method for converting to the local timezone. -
jj next/prev
now infer--edit
when you're already editing a non-head commit (a commit with children). -
A new built-in pager named
:builtin
is available on all platforms, implemented with minus -
Set config
ui.log-synthetic-elided-nodes = true
to makejj log
include synthetic nodes in the graph where some revisions were elided (#1252, #2971). This may become the default depending on feedback. -
When creating a new workspace, the sparse patterns are now copied over from the current workspace.
-
jj git init --colocate
can now import an existing Git repository. This is equivalent tojj git init --git-repo=.
. -
jj git fetch
now automatically prints new remote branches and tags by default. -
--verbose/-v
is now--debug
(no short option since it's not intended to be used often) -
jj move --from/--to
can now be abbreviated tojj move -f/-t
-
jj commit
/diffedit
/move
/resolve
/split
/squash
/unsquash
now accept--tool=<NAME>
option to override the default. #2575 -
Added completions for Nushell to
jj util completion
-
jj branch list
now supports a--tracked/-t
option which can be used to show tracked branches only. Omits local Git-tracking branches by default. -
Commands producing diffs now accept a
--context
flag for the number of lines of context to show. -
jj
commands with the-T
/--template
option now provide a hint containing defined template names when no argument is given, assisting the user in making a selection.
Fixed bugs
-
On Windows, symlinks in the repo are now supported when Developer Mode is enabled. When symlink support is unavailable, they will be materialized as regular files in the working copy (instead of resulting in a crash). #2
-
On Windows, the
:builtin
pager is now used by default, rather than being disabled entirely. -
Auto-rebase now preserves the shape of history even for merge commits where one parent is an ancestor of another. #2600

[0.14.0] - 2024-02-07
Deprecations
-
jj checkout
andjj merge
are both deprecated; usejj new
instead to replace both of these commands in all instances.Rationale:
jj checkout
andjj merge
both implement identical functionality, which is a subset ofjj new
.checkout
creates a new working copy commit on top of a single specified revision, i.e. with one parent.merge
creates a new working copy commit on top of at least two specified revisions, i.e. with two or more parents.The only difference between these commands and
jj new
, which also creates a new working copy commit, is thatnew
can create a working copy commit on top of any arbitrary number of revisions, so it can handle both the previous cases at once. The only actual difference between these three commands is the command syntax and their name. These names were chosen to be familiar to users of other version control systems, but we instead encourage all users to adoptjj new
instead; it is more general and easier to remember than both of these.jj checkout
andjj merge
will no longer be shown as part ofjj help
, but will still function for now, emitting a warning about their deprecation.Deadline:
jj checkout
andjj merge
will be deleted and are expected become a hard error later in 2024. -
jj init --git
andjj init --git-repo
are now deprecated and will be removed in the near future.Use
jj git init
instead.
Breaking changes
-
(Minor) Diff summaries (e.g.
jj diff -s
) now useD
for "Deleted" instead ofR
for "Removed". @joyously pointed out thatR
could also mean "Renamed". -
jj util completion
now takes the shell as a positional argument, not a flag. the previous behavior is deprecated, but supported for now. it will be removed in the future. -
jj rebase
now preserves the shape of history even for merge commits where one parent is an ancestor of another. You can follow thejj rebase
byjj rebase -s <merge commit> -d <single parent>
if you want to linearize the history.
New features
-
jj util completion
now supports powershell and elvish. -
Official binaries for macOS running on Apple Silicon (
aarch64-apple-darwin
) are now available, alongside the existing macOS x86 binaries. -
New
jj op abandon
command is added to clean up the operation history. Git refs and commit objects can be further compacted byjj util gc
. -
jj util gc
now removes unreachable operation, view, and Git objects. -
jj branch rename
will now warn if the renamed branch has a remote branch, since those will have to be manually renamed outside ofjj
. -
jj git push
gained a--tracked
option, to push all the tracked branches. -
There's now a virtual root operation, similar to the virtual root commit. It appears at the end of
jj op log
. -
jj config list
gained a--include-overridden
option to allow printing overridden config values. -
jj config list
now accepts--user
or--repo
option to specify config origin. -
New
jj config path
command to print the config file path without launching an editor. -
jj tag list
command prints imported git tags. -
jj next
andjj prev
now prompt in the event of the next/previous commit being ambiguous, instead of failing outright. -
jj resolve
now displays the file being resolved. -
jj workspace root
was aliased tojj root
, for ease of discoverability -
jj diff
no longer shows the contents of binary files. -
jj git
now has aninit
command that initializes a git backed repo. -
New template function
surround(prefix, suffix, content)
is added.
Fixed bugs
-
Fixed snapshots of symlinks in
gitignore
-d directory. #2878 -
Fixed data loss in dirty working copy when checked-out branch is rebased or abandoned by Git. #2876

[0.13.0] - 2024-01-03
Breaking changes
jj git fetch
no longer imports new remote branches as local branches. Setgit.auto-local-branch = true
to restore the old behavior.
New features
-
Information about new and resolved conflicts is now printed by every command.
-
jj branch
has gained a newrename
subcommand that allows changing a branch name atomically.jj branch help rename
for details.
Fixed bugs
- Command aliases can now be loaded from repository config relative to the current working directory. #2414

[0.12.0] - 2023-12-05
Breaking changes
-
The
remote_branches()
revset no longer includes branches exported to the Git repository (so called Git-tracking branches.) -
jj branch set
no longer creates a new branch. Usejj branch create
instead. -
jj init --git
in an existing Git repository now errors and exits rather than creating a second Git store.
New features
-
jj workspace add
can now take multiple--revision
arguments, which will create a new workspace with its working-copy commit on top of all the parents, as if you had runjj new r1 r2 r3 ...
. -
You can now set
git.abandon-unreachable-commits = false
to disable the usual behavior where commits that became unreachable in the Git repo are abandoned (#2504). -
jj new
gained a--no-edit
option to prevent editing the newly created commit. For example,jj new a b --no-edit -m Merge
creates a merge commit without affecting the working copy. -
jj rebase
now takes the flag--skip-empty
, which doesn't copy over commits that would become empty after a rebase. -
There is a new
jj util gc
command for cleaning up the repository storage. For now, it simply runsgit gc
on the backing Git repo (when using the Git backend).
Fixed bugs
- Fixed another file conflict resolution issue where
jj status
would disagree with the actual file content. #2654

[0.11.0] - 2023-11-01
Breaking changes
-
Conflicts are now stored in a different way. Commits written by a new
jj
binary will not be read correctly by olderjj
binaries. The new model solves some performance problems with the old model. For example,jj log
should be noticeably faster on large repos. You may need to create a new clone to see the full speedup. -
The
remote_branches()
revset now includes branches exported to the Git repository (so called Git-tracking branches.) This change will be reverted in 0.12.0. -
Status messages are now printed to stderr.
-
jj config set
now interprets the value as TOML also if it's a valid TOML array or table. For example,jj config set --user 'aliases.n' '["new"]'
-
Remote branches now have tracking or non-tracking flags. The
git.auto-local-branch
setting is applied only to newly fetched remote branches. Existing remote branches are migrated as follows:- If local branch exists, the corresponding remote branches are considered tracking branches.
- Otherwise, the remote branches are non-tracking branches.
If the deduced tracking flags are wrong, use
jj branch track
/untrack
commands to fix them up.See automatic local branch creation for details.
-
Non-tracking remote branches aren't listed by default. Use
jj branch list --all
to show all local and remote branches. -
It's not allowed to push branches if non-tracking remote branches of the same name exist.
-
Pushing deleted/moved branches no longer abandons the local commits referenced by the remote branches.
-
jj git fetch --branch
now requiresglob:
prefix to expand*
in branch name.
New features
-
jj
's stable release can now be installed withcargo binstall jj-cli
. -
jj workspace add
now takes a--revision
argument. -
jj workspace forget
can now forget multiple workspaces at once. -
branches()
/remote_branches()
/author()
/committer()
/description()
revsets now support glob matching. -
jj branch delete
/forget
/list
, andjj git push --branch
now support string pattern syntax. The--glob
option is deprecated in favor ofglob:
pattern. -
The
branches
/tags
/git_refs
/git_head
template keywords now return a list ofRefName
s. They were previously pre-formatted strings. -
The new template keywords
local_branches
/remote_branches
are added to show only local/remote branches. -
jj workspace add
now preserves all parents of the old working-copy commit instead of just the first one. -
jj rebase -r
gained the ability to rebase a revisionA
onto a descendant ofA
.
Fixed bugs
-
Updating the working copy to a commit where a file that's currently ignored in the working copy no longer leads to a crash (#976).
-
Conflicts in executable files can now be resolved just like conflicts in non-executable files (#1279).
-
jj new --insert-before
and--insert-after
now respect immutable revisions (#2468).

[0.10.0] - 2023-10-04
Breaking changes
- A default revset-alias function
trunk()
now exists. If you previously defined your owntrunk()
alias it will continue to overwrite the built-in one. Check revsets.toml and revsets.md to understand how the function can be adapted.
New features
-
The
ancestors()
revset function now takes an optionaldepth
argument to limit the depth of the ancestor set. For example, usejj log -r 'ancestors(@, 5)
to view the last 5 commits. -
Support for the Watchman filesystem monitor is now bundled by default. Set
core.fsmonitor = "watchman"
in your repo to enable. -
You can now configure the set of immutable commits via
revset-aliases.immutable_heads()
. For example, set it to"remote_branches() | tags()"
to prevent rewriting those those. Their ancestors are implicitly also immutable. -
jj op log
now supports--no-graph
. -
Templates now support an additional escape:
\0
. This will output a literal null byte. This may be useful for e.g.jj log -T 'description ++ "\0"' --no-graph
to output descriptions only, but be able to tell where the boundaries are -
jj now bundles a TUI tool to use as the default diff and merge editors. (The previous default was
meld
.) -
jj split
supports the--interactive
flag. (This is already the default if no paths are provided.) -
jj commit
accepts an optional list of paths indicating a subset of files to include in the first commit -
jj commit
accepts the--interactive
flag.
Fixed bugs

[0.9.0] - 2023-09-06
Breaking changes
-
The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.71.0.
-
The storage format of branches, tags, and git refs has changed. Newly-stored repository data will no longer be loadable by older binaries.
-
The
:
revset operator is deprecated. Use::
instead. We plan to delete the:
form in jj 0.15+. -
The
--allow-large-revsets
flag forjj rebase
andjj new
was replaced by aall:
before the revset. For example, usejj rebase -d 'all:foo-'
instead ofjj rebase --allow-large-revsets -d 'foo-'
. -
The
--allow-large-revsets
flag forjj rebase
andjj new
can no longer be used for allowing duplicate destinations. Include the potential duplicates in a single expression instead (e.g.jj new 'all:x|y'
). -
The
push.branch-prefix
option was renamed togit.push-branch-prefix
. -
The default editor on Windows is now
Notepad
instead ofpico
. -
jj
will fail attempts to snapshot new files larger than 1MiB by default. This behavior can be customized with thesnapshot.max-new-file-size
config option. -
Author and committer signatures now use empty strings to represent unset names and email addresses. The
author
/committer
template keywords and methods also return empty strings. Older binaries may not warn user when attempting togit push
commits with such signatures. -
In revsets, the working-copy or remote symbols (such as
@
,workspace_id@
, andbranch@remote
) can no longer be quoted as a unit. If a workspace or branch name contains whitespace, quote the name like"branch name"@remote
. Also, these symbols will not be resolved as revset aliases or function parameters. For example,author(foo@)
is now an error, and the revset alias'revset-aliases.foo@' = '@'
will be failed to parse. -
The
root
revset symbol has been converted to functionroot()
. -
The
..x
revset is now evaluated toroot()..x
, which means the root commit is no longer included. -
jj git push
will now push all branches in the rangeremote_branches()..@
instead of only branches pointing to@
or@-
. -
It's no longer allowed to create a Git remote named "git". Use
jj git remote rename
to rename the existing remote. #1690 -
Revset expression like
origin/main
will no longer resolve to a remote-tracking branch. Usemain@origin
instead.
New features
-
Default template for
jj log
now does not show irrelevant information (timestamp, empty, message placeholder etc.) about the root commit. -
Commit templates now support the
root
keyword, which istrue
for the root commit andfalse
for every other commit. -
jj init --git-repo
now works with bare repositories. -
jj config edit --user
andjj config set --user
will now pick a default config location if no existing file is found, potentially creating parent directories. -
jj log
output is now topologically grouped. #242 -
jj git clone
now supports the--colocate
flag to create the git repo in the same directory as the jj repo. -
jj restore
gained a new option--changes-in
to restore files from a merge revision's parents. This undoes the changes thatjj diff -r
would show. -
jj diff
/log
now supports--tool <name>
option to generate diffs by external program. For configuration, see the documentation. #1886 -
A new experimental diff editor
meld-3
is introduced that sets up Meld to allow you to see both sides of the original diff while editing. This can be used withjj split
,jj move -i
, etc. -
jj log
/obslog
/op log
now supports--limit N
option to show the firstN
entries. -
Added the
ui.paginate
option to enable/disable pager usage in commands -
jj checkout
/jj describe
/jj commit
/jj new
/jj squash
can take repeated-m/--message
arguments. Each passed message will be combined into paragraphs (separated by a blank line) -
It is now possible to set a default description using the new
ui.default-description
option, to use when describing changes with an empty description. -
jj split
will now leave the description empty on the second part if the description was empty on the input commit. -
branches()
/remote_branches()
/author()
/committer()
/description()
revsets now support exact matching. For example,branch(exact:main)
selects the branch named "main", but not "maint".description(exact:"")
selects commits whose description is empty. -
Revsets gained a new function
mine()
that aliasesauthor(exact:"your_email")
. -
Added support for
::
and..
revset operators with both left and right operands omitted. These expressions are equivalent toall()
and~root()
respectively. -
jj log
timestamp format now accepts.utc()
to convert a timestamp to UTC. -
templates now support additional string methods
.starts_with(x)
,.ends_with(x)
.remove_prefix(x)
,.remove_suffix(x)
, and.substr(start, end)
. -
jj next
andjj prev
are added, these allow you to traverse the history in a linear style. For people coming from Sapling andgit-branchles
see #2126 for further pending improvements. -
jj diff --stat
has been implemented. It shows a histogram of the changes, same asgit diff --stat
. Fixes #2066 -
jj git fetch --all-remotes
has been implemented. It fetches all remotes instead of just the default remote
Fixed bugs
-
Fix issues related to .gitignore handling of untracked directories #2051.
-
jj config set --user
andjj config edit --user
can now be used outside of any repository. -
SSH authentication could hang when ssh-agent couldn't be reached #1970
-
SSH authentication can now use ed25519 and ed25519-sk keys. They still need to be password-less.
-
Git repository managed by the repo tool can now be detected as a "colocated" repository. #2011

andjj-lib
, respectively. -
The
ui.oplog-relative-timestamps
option has been removed. Use theformat_time_range()

operator,concat()
, orseparate()
function instead. Example:description ++ "\n"
-
jj git push
will consider pushing the parent commit only when the current commit has no content and no description, such as right after ajj squash
. -
The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.64.0.
-
The
heads()
revset function was split up into two functions.heads()
without arguments is now calledvisible_heads()
.heads()
with one argument is unchanged. -
The
ui.default-revset
config was renamed torevsets.log
. -
The
jj sparse
command was split up intojj sparse list
andjj sparse set
. -
jj hide
(alias forjj abandon
) is no longer available. Usejj abandon
instead. -
jj debug completion
,jj debug mangen
andjj debug config-schema
have been moved fromjj debug
tojj util
. -
jj
will no longer parsebr
as a git_refrefs/heads/br
when a branchbr
does not exist but the git_ref does (this is rare). Usebr@git
instead. -
jj git fetch
will no longer import unrelated branches from the underlying Git repo.
New features
-
jj git push --deleted
will remove all locally deleted branches from the remote. -
jj restore
without--from
works correctly even if@
is a merge commit. -
jj rebase
now accepts multiple-s
and-b
arguments. Revsets with multiple commits are allowed with--allow-large-revsets
. -
jj git fetch
now supports a--branch
argument to fetch some of the branches only. -
jj config get
command allows retrieving config values for use in scripting. -
jj config set
command allows simple config edits likejj config set --repo user.email "somebody@example.com"
-
Added
ui.log-word-wrap
option to wrapjj log
/obslog
/op log
content based on terminal width. #1043 -
Nodes in the (text-based) graphical log output now use a
◉
symbol instead of the lettero
. The ASCII-based graph styles still useo
. -
Commands that accept a diff format (
jj diff
,jj interdiff
,jj show
,jj log
, andjj obslog
) now accept--types
to show only the type of file before and after. -
jj describe
now supports--reset-author
for resetting a commit's author to the configured user.jj describe
also gained a--no-edit
option to avoid opening the editor. -
Added
latest(x[, n])
revset function to select the latestn
commits. -

now includes the downloaded size. -
The formatter now supports a "default" color that can override another color defined by a parent style.
-
jj obslog
andjj log

jj git fetch
andjj git push
will now use the single defined remote even if it is not named "origin". -
jj git push
now accepts--branch
and--change
arguments together. -
jj git push
now accepts a-r/--revisions
flag to specify revisions to push. All branches pointing to any of the specified revisions will be pushed. The flag can be used together with--branch
and--change
. -
jj
with no subcommand now defaults tojj log
instead of showing help. This command can be overridden by settingui.default-command
. -
Description tempfiles created via
jj describe
now have the file extension.jjdescription
to help external tooling detect a unique filetype. -
The shortest unique change ID prefixes and commit ID prefixes in
jj log
are now shorter within the default log revset. You can override the default by setting therevsets.short-prefixes
config to a different revset. -
The last seen state of branches in the underlying git repo is now presented by
jj branch list
/jj log
as a remote calledgit
(e.g.main@git
). They can also be referenced in revsets. Such branches exist in colocated repos or if you usejj git export
. -
The new
jj chmod
command allows setting or removing the executable bit on paths. Unlike the POSIXchmod
, it works on Windows, on conflicted files, and on arbitrary revisions. Bits other than the executable bit are not planned to be supported. -
jj sparse set
now accepts an--edit
flag which brings up the$EDITOR
to edit sparse patterns. -

It is now possible to modify either side of a modify/delete conflict (any change used to be considered a resolution).
-
Fixed a bug that could get partially resolved conflicts to be interpreted incorrectly.
-
jj git fetch
: when re-adding a remote repository that had been previously removed, in some situations the remote branches were not recreated. -
jj git remote rename
: the git remote references were not rewritten with the new name. If a new remote with the old name and containing the same branches was added, the remote branches may not be recreated in some cases. -
jj workspace update-stale
now snapshots the working-copy changes before updating to the new working-copy commit. -
It is no longer allowed to create branches at the root commit.
-
git checkout
(without usingjj
) in colocated repo no longer abandons the previously checked-out anonymous branch. #1042. -
jj git fetch
in a colocated repo now abandons branches deleted on the remote, just like in a non-colocated repo. #864 -
jj git fetch
can now fetch forgotten branches even if they didn't move on the remote. #1714 #1771 -

jj debug reindex
. #924 -
Fixed false divergence on racy working-copy snapshots. #697, #1608
-
In colocated repos, a bug causing conflicts when undoing branch moves (#922) has been fixed. Some surprising behaviors related to undoing

[0.7.0] - 2023-02-16
Breaking changes
-
The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.61.0.
-
The
jj touchup
command was renamed tojj diffedit
. -
The
-i
option tojj restore
was removed in favor of new--from
/--to
options tojj diffedit
. -
To report the situation when a change id corresponds to multiple visible commits,
jj log
now prints the change id in red and puts??
after it. Previously, it printed the word "divergent". -
jj log
prefixes commit descriptions with "(empty)" when they contain no change compared to their parents. -
The
author
/committer
templates now display both name and email. Useauthor.name()
/committer.name()
to extract the name. -
Storage of the "HEAD@git" reference changed and can now have conflicts. Operations written by a new
jj
binary will have a "HEAD@git" reference that is not visible to older binaries. -
The
description
template keyword is now empty if no description set. Useif(description, description, "(no description set)\n")
to get back the previous behavior. -
The
template.log.graph
andtemplate.commit_summary
config keys were renamed totemplates.log
andtemplates.commit_summary
respectively. -
If a custom
templates.log
template is set, working-copy commit will no longer be highlighted automatically. Wrap your template withlabel(if(current_working_copy, "working_copy"), ...)
to label the working-copy entry. -
The
ui.relative-timestamps
option has been removed. Use theformat_timestamp()
template alias instead. For details on showing relative timestamps injj log
andjj show
, see the documentation. -
jj op log
now shows relative timestamps by default. To disable, setui.oplog-relative-timestamps
tofalse
. -
The global
--no-commit-working-copy
is now called--ignore-working-copy
. -
The
diff.format
config option is now calledui.diff.format
. The old name is still supported for now. -
merge-tools.<name>.edit-args
now requires$left
/$right
parameters. The default isedit-args = ["$left", "$right"]
. -
The builtin
jj update
andjj up
aliases forjj checkout
have been deleted. -
Change IDs are now rendered using letters from the end of the alphabet (from 'z' through 'k') instead of the usual hex digits ('0' through '9' and 'a' through 'f'). This is to clarify the distinction between change IDs and commit IDs, and to allow more efficient lookup of unique prefixes. This change doesn't affect the storage format; existing repositories will remain usable.
New features
-
The default log format now uses the committer timestamp instead of the author timestamp.
-
jj log --summary --patch
now shows both summary and diff outputs. -
jj git push
now accepts multiple--branch
/--change
arguments -
jj config list
command prints values from config andconfig edit
opens the config in an editor. -
jj debug config-schema
command prints out JSON schema for the jj TOML config file format. -
jj resolve --list
can now describe the complexity of conflicts. -
jj resolve
now notifies the user of remaining conflicts, if any, on success. This can be prevented by the new--quiet
option. -
Per-repository configuration is now read from
.jj/repo/config.toml
. -
Background colors, bold text, and underlining are now supported. You can set e.g.
color.error = { bg = "red", bold = true, underline = true }
in your~/.jjconfig.toml
. -
The
empty
condition in templates is true when the commit makes no change to the three compared to its parents. -
branches([needle])
revset function now takesneedle
as an optional argument and matches just the branches whose name containsneedle
. -
remote_branches([branch_needle[, remote_needle]])
now takesbranch_needle
andremote_needle
as optional arguments and matches just the branches whose name containsbranch_needle
and remote containsremote_needle
. -
jj git fetch
accepts repeated--remote
arguments. -
Default remotes can be configured for the
jj git fetch
andjj git push
operations ("origin" by default) using thegit.fetch
andgit.push
configuration entries.git.fetch
can be a list if multiple remotes must be fetched from. -
jj duplicate
can now duplicate multiple changes in one go. This preserves any parent-child relationships between them. For example, the entire tree of descendants ofabc
can be duplicated withjj duplicate abc:
. -
jj log
now highlights the shortest unique prefix of every commit and change id and shows the rest in gray. To customize the length and style, use theformat_short_id()
template alias. For details, see the documentation. -
jj print
was renamed tojj cat
.jj print
remains as an alias. -
In content that goes to the terminal, the ANSI escape byte (0x1b) is replaced by a "␛" character. That prevents them from interfering with the ANSI escapes jj itself writes.
-
jj workspace root
prints the root path of the current workspace. -
The
[alias]
config section was renamed to[aliases]
. The old name is still accepted for backwards compatibility for some time. -
Commands that draw an ASCII graph (
jj log
,jj op log
,jj obslog
) now have different styles available by setting e.g.ui.graph.style = "curved"
. -
jj split
accepts creating empty commits when given a path.jj split .
inserts an empty commit between the target commit and its children if any, andjj split any-non-existent-path
inserts an empty commit between the target commit and its parents. -
Command arguments to
ui.diff-editor
/ui.merge-editor
can now be specified inline without referring to[merge-tools]
table. -
jj rebase
now accepts a new--allow-large-revsets
argument that allows the revset in the-d
argument to expand to several revisions. For example,jj rebase -s B -d B- -d C
now works even ifB
is a merge commit. -
jj new
now also accepts a--allow-large-revsets
argument that behaves similarly tojj rebase --allow-large-revsets
. -
jj new --insert-before
inserts the new commit between the target commit and its parents. -
jj new --insert-after
inserts the new commit between the target commit and its children. -
author
/committer
templates now support.username()
, which leaves out the domain information of.email()
. -
It is now possible to change the author format of
jj log
with theformat_short_signature()
template alias. For details, see the documentation. -
Added support for template aliases. New symbols and functions can be configured by
template-aliases.<name> = <expression>
. Be aware that the template syntax isn't documented yet and is likely to change. -
The
ui.diff-instructions
config setting can be set tofalse
to inhibit the creation of theJJ-INSTRUCTIONS
file as part of diff editing.
Fixed bugs
-
When sharing the working copy with a Git repo, we used to forget to export branches to Git when only the working copy had changed. That's now fixed.
-
Commit description set by
-m
/--message
is now terminated with a newline character, just like descriptions set by editor are. -
The
-R
/--repository
path must be a valid workspace directory. Its ancestor directories are no longer searched. -
Fixed a crash when trying to access a commit that's never been imported into the jj repo from a Git repo. They will now be considered as non-existent if referenced explicitly instead of crashing.
-
Fixed handling of escaped characters in .gitignore (only keep trailing spaces if escaped properly).
-
jj undo
now works afterjj duplicate
. -
jj duplicate
followed byjj rebase
of a tree containing both the original and duplicate commit no longer crashes. The fix should also resolve any remaining instances of https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/27. -
Fix the output of
jj debug completion --help
by reversing fish and zsh text. -
Fixed edge case in
jj git fetch
when a pruned branch is a prefix of another branch.

[0.6.1] - 2022-12-05
No changes, only changed to a released version of the thrift
crate dependency.
[0.6.0] - 2022-12-05
Breaking changes
-
Dropped candidates set argument from
description(needle)
,author(needle)
,committer(needle)
,merges()
revsets. Usex & description(needle)
instead. -
Adjusted precedence of revset union/intersection/difference operators.
x | y & z
is now equivalent tox | (y & z)
. -
Support for open commits has been dropped. The
ui.enable-open-commits
config that was added in 0.5.0 is no longer respected. Thejj open/close
commands have been deleted. -
jj commit
is now a separate command fromjj close
(which no longer exists). The behavior has changed slightly. It now always asks for a description, even if there already was a description set. It now also only works on the working-copy commit (there's no-r
argument). -
If a workspace's working-copy commit has been updated from another workspace, most commands in that workspace will now fail. Use the new
jj workspace update-stale
command to update the workspace to the new working-copy commit. (The old behavior was to automatically update the workspace.)
New features
-
Commands with long output are paginated. #9
-
The new
jj git remote rename
command allows git remotes to be renamed in-place. -
The new
jj resolve
command allows resolving simple conflicts with an external 3-way-merge tool. -
jj git push
will search@-
for branches to push if@
has none. -
The new revset function
file(pattern..)
finds commits modifying the paths specified by thepattern..
. -
The new revset function
empty()
finds commits modifying no files. -
Added support for revset aliases. New symbols and functions can be configured by
revset-aliases.<name> = <expression>
. -
It is now possible to specify configuration options on the command line with the new
--config-toml
global option. -
jj git
subcommands will prompt for credentials when required for HTTPS remotes rather than failing. #469 -
Branches that have a different target on some remote than they do locally are now indicated by an asterisk suffix (e.g.
main*
) injj log
. #254 -
The commit ID was moved from first on the line in
jj log
output to close to the end. The goal is to encourage users to use the change ID instead, since that is generally more convenient, and it reduces the risk of creating divergent commits. -
The username and hostname that appear in the operation log are now configurable via config options
operation.username
andoperation.hostname
. -
jj git
subcommands now support credential helpers. -
jj log
will warn if it appears that the provided path was meant to be a revset. -
The new global flag
-v/--verbose
will turn on debug logging to give some additional insight into what is happening behind the scenes. Note: This is not comprehensively supported by all operations yet. -
jj log
,jj show
, andjj obslog
now all support showing relative timestamps by settingui.relative-timestamps = true
in the config file.
Fixed bugs
-
A bug in the export of branches to Git caused spurious conflicted branches. This typically occurred when running in a working copy colocated with Git (created by running
jj init --git-dir=.
). #463 -
When exporting branches to Git, we used to fail if some branches could not be exported (e.g. because Git doesn't allow a branch called
main
and another branch calledmain/sub
). We now print a warning about these branches instead. #493 -
If you had modified branches in jj and also modified branches in conflicting ways in Git,
jj git export
used to overwrite the changes you made in Git. We now print a warning about these branches instead. -
jj edit root
now fails gracefully. -
jj git import
used to abandon a commit if Git branches and tags referring to it were removed. We now keep it if a detached HEAD refers to it. -
jj git import
no longer crashes when all Git refs are removed. -
Git submodules are now ignored completely. Earlier, files present in the submodule directory in the working copy would become added (tracked), and later removed if you checked out another commit. You can now use
git
to populate the submodule directory andjj
will leave it alone. -
Git's GC could remove commits that were referenced from jj in some cases. We are now better at adding Git refs to prevent that. #815
-
When the working-copy commit was a merge,
jj status
would list only the first parent, and the diff summary would be against that parent. The output now lists all parents and the diff summary is against the auto-merged parents.

[0.5.1] - 2022-10-17
No changes (just trying to get automated GitHub release to work).
[0.5.0] - 2022-10-17
Breaking changes
-
Open commits are now disabled by default. That means that
jj checkout
will always create a new change on top of the specified commit and will let you edit that in the working copy. Setui.enable-open-commits = true
to restore the old behavior and let us know that you did so we know how many people prefer the workflow with open commits. -
jj [op] undo
andjj op restore
used to take the operation to undo or restore to as an argument to-o/--operation
. It is now a positional argument instead (i.e.jj undo -o abc123
is now writtenjj undo abc123
). -
An alias that is not configured as a string list (e.g.
my-status = "status"
instead ofmy-status = ["status"]
) is now an error instead of a warning. -
jj log
now defaults to showing only commits that are not on any remote branches (plus their closest commit on the remote branch for context). This set of commits can be overridden by settingui.default-revset
. Usejj log -r 'all()'
for the old behavior. Read more about revsets here. #250 -
jj new
now always checks out the new commit (used to be only if the parent was@
). -
jj merge
now checks out the new commit. The command now behaves exactly likejj new
, except that it requires at least two arguments. -
When the working-copy commit is abandoned by
jj abandon
and the parent commit is open, a new working-copy commit will be created on top (the open parent commit used to get checked out). -
jj branch
now uses subcommands likejj branch create
andjj branch forget
instead of options likejj branch --forget
. #330 -
The
$NO_COLOR
environment variable no longer overrides theui.color
configuration if explicitly set. -
jj edit
has been renamed tojj touchup
, andjj edit
is now a new command with different behavior. The newjj edit
lets you edit a commit in the working copy, even if the specified commit is closed. -
jj git push
no longer aborts if you attempt to push an open commit (but it now aborts if a commit does not have a description). -
jj git push
now pushes only branches pointing to the@
by default. Use--all
to push all branches. -
The
checkouts
template keyword is now calledworking_copies
, andcurrent_checkout
is calledcurrent_working_copy
.
New features
-
The new
jj interdiff
command compares the changes in commits, ignoring changes from intervening commits. -
jj rebase
now accepts a--branch/-b <revision>
argument, which can be used instead of-r
or-s
to specify which commits to rebase. It will rebase the whole branch, relative to the destination. The default mode has changed from-r @
to-b @
. -
The new
jj print
command prints the contents of a file in a revision. -
The new
jj git remotes list
command lists the configured remotes and their URLs. #243 -
jj move
andjj squash
now lets you limit the set of changes to move by specifying paths on the command line (in addition to the--interactive
mode). For example, usejj move --to @-- foo
to move the changes to file (or directory)foo
in the working copy to the grandparent commit. -
When
jj move/squash/unsquash
abandons the source commit because it became empty and both the source and the destination commits have non-empty descriptions, it now asks for a combined description. If either description was empty, it uses the other without asking. -
jj split
now lets you specify on the CLI which paths to include in the first commit. The interactive diff-editing is not started when you do that. -
Sparse checkouts are now supported. In fact, all working copies are now "sparse", only to different degrees. Use the
jj sparse
command to manage the paths included in the sparse checkout. -
Configuration is now also read from
~/.jjconfig.toml
. -
The
$JJ_CONFIG
environment variable can now point to a directory. If it does, all files in the directory will be read, in alphabetical order. -
The
$VISUAL
environment is now respected and overrides$EDITOR
. The newui.editor
config has higher priority than both of them. There is also a new$JJ_EDITOR
environment variable, which has even higher priority than the config. -
You can now use
-
and+
in revset symbols. You used to have to quote branch names likemy-feature
in nested quotes (outer layer for your shell) likejj co '"my-feature"'
. The quoting is no longer needed. -
The new revset function
connected(x)
is the same asx:x
. -
The new revset function
roots(x)
finds commits in the set that are not descendants of other commits in the set. -
ssh-agent is now detected even if
$SSH_AGENT_PID
is not set (as long as$SSH_AUTH_SOCK
is set). This should help at least macOS users where ssh-agent is launched by default and only$SSH_AUTH_SOCK
is set. -
When importing from a git, any commits that are no longer referenced on the git side will now be abandoned on the jj side as well. That means that
jj git fetch
will now abandon unreferenced commits and rebase any local changes you had on top. -
jj git push
gained a--change <revision>
argument. When that's used, it will create a branch named after the revision's change ID, so you don't have to create a branch yourself. By default, the branch name will start withpush-
, but this can be overridden by thepush.branch-prefix
config setting. -
jj git push
now aborts if you attempt to push a commit without a description or with the placeholder "(no name/email configured)" values for author/committer. -
Diff editor command arguments can now be specified by config file. Example:
[merge-tools.kdiff3] program = "kdiff3" edit-args = ["--merge", "--cs", "CreateBakFiles=0"]
-
jj branch
can accept any number of branches to update, rather than just one. -
Aliases can now call other aliases.
-
jj log
now accepts a--reversed
option, which will show older commits first. -
jj log
now accepts file paths. -
jj obslog
now accepts-p
/--patch
option, which will show the diff compared to the previous version of the change. -
The "(no name/email configured)" placeholder value for name/email will now be replaced if once you modify a commit after having configured your name/email.
-
Color setting can now be overridden by
--color=always|never|auto
option. -
jj checkout
now lets you specify a description with--message/-m
. -
jj new
can now be used for creating merge commits. If you pass more than one argument to it, the new commit will have all of them as parents.
Fixed bugs
-
When rebasing a conflict where one side modified a file and the other side deleted it, we no longer automatically resolve it in favor of the modified content (this was a regression from commit
c0ae4b16e8
). -
Errors are now printed to stderr (they used to be printed to stdout).
-
Updating the working copy to a commit where a file's executable bit changed but the contents was the same used to lead to a crash. That has now been fixed.
-
If one side of a merge modified a directory and the other side deleted it, it used to be considered a conflict. The same was true if both sides added a directory with different files in. They are now merged as if the missing directory had been empty.
-
When using
jj move
to move part of a commit into an ancestor, any branches pointing to the source commit used to be left on a hidden intermediate commit. They are now correctly updated. -
jj untrack
now requires at least one path (allowing no arguments was a UX bug). -
jj rebase
now requires at least one destination (allowing no arguments was a UX bug). -
jj restore --to <rev>
now restores from the working copy (it used to restore from the working copy's parent). -
You now get a proper error message instead of a crash when
$EDITOR
doesn't exist or exits with an error. -
Global arguments, such as
--at-op=<operation>
, can now be passed before an alias. -
Fixed relative path to the current directory in output to be
.
instead of empty string. -
When adding a new workspace, the parent of the current workspace's current checkout will be checked out. That was always the intent, but the root commit was accidentally checked out instead.
-
When checking out a commit, the previous commit is no longer abandoned if it has a non-empty description.
-
All commands now consistently snapshot the working copy (it was missing from e.g.
jj undo
andjj merge
before).
[0.4.0] - 2022-04-02
Breaking changes
- Dropped support for config in
~/.jjconfig
. Your configuration is now read from<config dir>/jj/config.toml
, where<config dir>
is${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}
or~/.config/
on Linux,~/Library/Application Support/
on macOS, and~\AppData\Roaming\
on Windows.
New features
-
You can now set an environment variable called
$JJ_CONFIG
to a path to a config file. That will then be read instead of your regular config file. This is mostly intended for testing and scripts. -
The standard
$NO_COLOR
environment variable is now respected. -
jj new
now lets you specify a description with--message/-m
. -
When you check out a commit, the old commit no longer automatically gets abandoned if it's empty and has descendants, it only gets abandoned if it's empty and does not have descendants.
-
When undoing an earlier operation, any new commits on top of commits from the undone operation will be rebased away. For example, let's say you rebase commit A so it becomes a new commit A', and then you create commit B on top of A'. If you now undo the rebase operation, commit B will be rebased to be on top of A instead. The same logic is used if the repo was modified by concurrent operations (so if one operation added B on top of A, and one operation rebased A as A', then B would be automatically rebased on top of A'). See #111 for more examples. #111
-
jj log
now accepts-p
/--patch
option.
Fixed bugs
-
Fixed crash on
jj init --git-repo=.
(it almost always crashed). -
When sharing the working copy with a Git repo, the automatic importing and exporting (sometimes?) didn't happen on Windows.
