I tried jujutsu for a while and it’s nice if you’re the kind of person who lives in the commits. But it became a bit of a pain to manually move the branch name around all the time, and I spend a lot more time moving forward on a few branches than I do trying to figure out histories so I went back to git.
FWIW, most of the time I don’t even bother naming my branches. ‘jj git push -C` even handles naming for me when I want to make a PR, but that’s mostly the only time I bother.
When I do need to advance a branch name, `jj bookmark advance` is easy enough. And it works great with the model that `jj git push` pushes all out-of-sync branches. In this model, advancing a bookmark is the reliable signal that I’m ready to share work, not simply “having authored a commit”.
