Comment on jj init – getting serious about replacing Git with Jujutsu

Comments

Wake me when they upstream it.

I can't afford to invest in Google's soon-to-be-abandonware projects.

Jujutsu is not a Google product. Jujutsu is not a fork of anything, so upstreaming it does not make sense. It does support git repos, but that is a mandatory feature for new version control software to compete with git as people don't want a VCS that is not compatible with one's existing repos. It doesn't mean it's a fork of git.

It's a downstream consumer of (lib)git.

It looks to me like they just use libgit as a dependency. Do they have a fork of libgit that they would push changes upstream from?

You seem really fixated on this "fork" thing, which is not mentioned anywhere in my comments.

Wake me when they upstream it.

Where is upstream?

Google is paying to have it worked on.
