## Introduction
I started the project mostly in order to test the viability of some UX ideas in
practice. I continue to use it for that, but my short-term goal now is to make
it useful as an alternative CLI for Git repos.
Jujutsu is a Git-compatible
[DVCS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_version_control). It combines
features from Git (data model, speed), Mercurial (anonymous branching, simple
CLI free from "the index",
[revsets](https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/help/revsets)), and Pijul/Darcs
(first-class conflicts), with features not found in either of them
(working-copy-as-a-commit, undo functionality, automatic rebase).
The command-line tool is called `jj` for now because it's easy to type and easy
to replace (rare in English). The project is called "Jujutsu" because it matches
"jj" (I initially called it "Jujube", but changed since jujutsu is more
well-known).
"jj".
