I’ve been using it for a bit. It is magical. I had some merge conflicts in a GitHub PR. I pulled everything down with jj, and the conflicts were gone. Pushed and presto.

I do end up with descriptionless bookmarks that won’t push without a flag. So, I’m still doing something wrong.

But it’s already saved me a few times this week during some gnarly refactoring and merges.

Unfortunately my merging experience has been mixed. I find the idiosyncratic merge markers to be overtly futzy (why are you indenting everything by a single character?), and the conflict resolution still is quite hand-hold-y.

It's never been wrong, but I am slightly unconvinced at how well merge conflict resolution works relative to git + rerere.

You can try a different conflict marker style: https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/config/#conflict-marker-s...
