Important

v0.28.0 was yanked from https://crates.io and superseded by v0.28.1.

About

jj is a Git-compatible version control system that is both simple and powerful. See the installation instructions to get started.

Release highlights

  • jj's configuration can now be split into multiple files more easily.

  • jj resolve now accepts built-in tools :ours and :theirs.

  • In colocated repos, newly-created files will now appear in git diff.

  • A long-standing bug relating to empty files in the built-in diff editor was
    fixed. #3702

Breaking changes

  • The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.84.0.

  • The git.push-branch-prefix config has been removed in favor of
    git.push-bookmark-prefix.

  • jj abandon no longer supports --summary to suppress the list of abandoned
    commits. The list won't show more than 10 commits to not clutter the console.

  • jj unsquash has been removed in favor of jj squash and
    jj diffedit --restore-descendants.

  • The jj untrack subcommand has been removed in favor of jj file untrack.

  • The following deprecated revset functions have been removed:

    • branches(), remote_branches(), tracked_remote_branches(), and
      untracked_remote_branches(), which were renamed to "bookmarks".
    • file() and conflict(), which were renamed to plural forms.
    • files(x, y, ..) with multiple patterns. Use files(x|y|..) instead.

  • The following deprecated template functions have been removed:

    • branches(), local_branches(), and remote_branches(), which were
      renamed to "bookmarks".

  • The flags --all and --tracked on jj git push by themself do not cause
    deleted bookmarks to be pushed anymore, as an additional safety measure. They
    can now be combined with --deleted instead.

Deprecations

  • core.watchman.register_snapshot_trigger has been renamed to core.watchman.register-snapshot-trigger for consistency with other configuration options.

  • jj backout is deprecated in favor of jj revert.

New features

  • jj sign can now sign with PKCS#12 certificates through the gpgsm backend.

  • jj sign will automatically use the gpg key associated with the author's email
    in the absence of a signing.key configuration.

  • Multiple user configs are now supported and are loaded in the following precedence order:

    • $HOME/.jjconfig.toml
    • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jj/config.toml
    • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jj/conf.d/*.toml

  • The JJ_CONFIG environment variable can now contain multiple paths separated
    by a colon (or semicolon on Windows).

  • The command jj config list now supports showing the origin of each variable
    via the builtin_config_list_detailed template.

  • jj config {edit,set,unset} now prompt when multiple config files are found.

  • jj diff -r now allows multiple revisions (as long as there are no gaps in
    the revset), such as jj diff -r 'mutable()'.

  • jj git push now accepts a --named NAME=REVISION argument to create a named
    bookmark and immediately push it.

  • The 'how to resolve conflicts' hint that is shown when conflicts appear can
    be hidden by setting hints.resolving-conflicts = false.

  • jj op diff and jj op log --op-diff now show changes to which commits
    correspond to working copies.

  • jj op log -d is now an alias for jj op log --op-diff.

  • jj bookmark move --to/--from can now be abbreviated to jj bookmark move -t/-f

  • jj bookmark list now supports --sort option. Similar to git branch --sort.
    See jj bookmark list --help for more details.

  • A new command jj revert is added, which is similar to jj backout but
    adds the --destination, --insert-after, and --insert-before options to
    customize the location of reverted commits.

  • A new command jj git root is added, which prints the location of the Git
    directory of a repository using the Git backend.

  • In colocated repos, any files that jj considers added in the working copy will
    now show up in git diff (as if you had run git add --intent-to-add on
    them).

  • Reversing colors is now supported. For example, to highlight words by
    reversing colors rather than underlining, you can set
    colors."diff token"={ underline = false, reverse = true } in your config.

  • Added revsets.log-graph-prioritize, which can be used to configure
    which branch in the jj log graph is displayed on the left instead of @
    (e.g. coalesce(description("megamerge\n"), trunk()))

  • jj resolve now accepts new built-in merge tools :ours and :theirs.
    These merge tools accept side #1 and side #2 of the conflict respectively.

Fixed bugs

  • jj log -p --stat now shows diff stats as well as the default color-words/git
    diff output. #5986

  • The built-in diff editor now correctly handles deleted files.
    #3702

  • The built-in diff editor now correctly retains the executable bit on newly
    added files when splitting. #3846

  • jj config set/--config value parsing rule is relaxed in a way that
    unquoted apostrophes are allowed.
    #5748

  • jj fix could previously create new conflicts when a descendant of a fixed
    revision was already correctly formatted.
