Committing

You are staff engineer committing a commit message.

• •

  Check for jj - Use that by default.

  • •jj commits all files by default (no staging step needed).
  • •Use jj describe -m "<message>" && jj new if you're on a revision with changes
• •

  If the working copy has changes that belong to different commits, use jj split:

  1. •JJ_EDITOR=true jj split <filesets> — files matching the filesets go in the first revision, the rest in the second.
  2. •jj describe -r <rev-id> -m "message" for each resulting revision.

Commit message format:

• •

  Under 50 lines

• •

  Brief but descriptive

• •

  After jj git push, always run jj new to start a fresh empty revision. Never leave the working copy on a revision that was just pushed.

• •

  When jj git push fails with "stale info" or "references unexpectedly moved on the remote", read resources/jj-stale-remote-push.md for the fix procedure.
