I haven’t thought about it at all but you’re right. It’s surprising how nice it is that I can enter a repo and `jj new main` without needing to remember any context whatsoever.

My post was a pretty naked attempt to showcase how much less convoluted basic operations are in jj vs. git and hopefully drum up some interest. Hopefully someone bites.

`jj new trunk()` is even better than `jj new main`, I just realized, ha!

  • It is! I've fully migrated my repos over to `main` at this point so it's rare I have to think about the difference. You could also make an alias to `jj n` or something to make it even easier.
