I've always hated the git CLI, and that's why I used Jetbrains tools or Sublime Merge.

Now that I switched to jj (colocated with a get repo, very useful), I went back to using the CLI again for jj and I don't miss the graphical tools.

But how do you split commits? Command line tools for splitting commits suck because they force you to look at one hunk at a time without getting the context from the rest of the change.

jj uses a TUI for this that lets you navigate the entire set of changes.

Not only is the default behavior of `jj split` exceptionally good and not susceptible to the issue they described, but you can easily specify an external tools like the meld gui to offload these operations to as a configuration option.

Try jjui. It's an amazing TUI
