I’ve always wanted a git with five commands, and maybe with AST based diffing

The five command part isn't really possible but you can use custom diffs for merges, git diff, etc. pretty easily. There are projects like diffsitter ( https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter ) for doing more intelligent diffs like this for supported languages.

EDIT: and then an example for the merge stuff I couldn't find while typing before: https://mergiraf.org/ and HN discussion a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42093756

clone, pull, push, branch, merge, add, commit are the ones I use, but that's 7

checkout, log, config?

And reflog when you make a mistake.

fetch, rebase, blame?

I intentionally avoid fetch and rebase because you can pull and merge instead

Five is enough. Beagle uses five HTTP verbs: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH. And it is syntax-aware.

I had wanted the same thing for a long time and jj + difftastic has satisfied me.

How does jj handle problems described in the lore website? I'm curious. I thought jj didn't have any goals about large binary files
