Deprecations

  • jj checkout and jj merge are both deprecated; use jj new instead to
    replace both of these commands in all instances.

    Rationale: jj checkout and jj merge both implement identical
    functionality, which is a subset of jj 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 that new 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 adopt
    jj new instead; it is more general and easier to remember than both of
    these.

    jj checkout and jj merge will no longer be shown as part of jj help, but
    will still function for now, emitting a warning about their deprecation.

    Deadline: jj checkout and jj merge will be deleted and are expected
    become a hard error later in 2024.

  • jj init --git and jj 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 use D for "Deleted" instead
    of R for "Removed". @joyously pointed out that R 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.

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 by jj 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 of jj.

  • 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 and jj 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 to jj root, for ease of discoverability

  • jj diff no longer shows the contents of binary files.

  • jj git now has an init 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
