git rm --cached

[000000003ooo]

is there a similar command in jj work like git rm --cached?

What do you want the command to do? Jujutsu doesn't have an index (aka cache aka staging area), so it might be better to explain what state you're in and what state you want to get to.

Without knowing more, it sounds like you're looking forjj untrack.

Do you perhaps want to keep a file on disk but not add it to your commit? These two FAQ entries may be helpful:

• How can I keep my scratch files in the repository without committing them?
• How can I avoid committing my local-only changes to tracked files?

If you just want to remove a file, rm the file and use a jj command again to update the snapshot which also rebases all descendants on the snapshot. Otherwise you need a FAQ answer which Stephen suggested.
