JJ Notes/Commands

Key points to note/remember as my familiarity with jj grows.

Cloning:

jj git clone <url> --remote origin --colocate

Removing the remote from repo:

If you do:

jj git remote remove origin

And then try to do:

jj bookmark list

You will get an error because the trunk() still points to main@origin. This needs to be changed:

>> jj config edit --repo

---
"trunk()" = "main"

Instead of directly editing commit/revision files, use jj new and jj squash instead, otherwise it may cause conflicts and inaccurate times.

Evolog

Never directly edit an evolog jj edit <sub-change>, because doing that brings that change out of the main revision into its own revision, thus creating a new tree and conflicts, because it brings out sub-commits of its ancestors’ revisions.
