jj vcs new project checklist

jj-vcs

Init some git-based project:

cargo init --bin something

Colocate jj:

jj git init

Next, make whatever setup changes you want to make to the project as part of its initial/first commit. Whatever you do, this will be part of the first commit pushed to remote.

When ready, save your initial commit:

jj commit -m "setup repo"

Next, add origin:

jj git remote add origin [email protected]:somewhere/something.git

Then, create a new bookmark with the same name as your default branch. In my case, I use trunk:

jj b c trunk -r @-

The above sets trunk to point to the revset at @-, which is the revset associated with the "setup repo" commit from earlier. (In jj they’re called revsets, not commits).

Finally, push trunk up to origin:

jj git push --allow-new

Done!
