Is Git really the best version control system that we can imagine? Or is there a better way of thinking about source control? I've been trying out Jujutsu, an alternative to Git that's fully backwards compatible, and that you can switch to without your colleagues even noticing. Spoiler alert: I think it's pretty cool!
In this talk, we'll look at Jujutsu. I'll demonstrate how to set it up with an existing project, and how to use it to craft commits without complicated interactive rebases. I'll explain how it's structured, and how it makes reasoning about changes simple. And I'll also talk about the places where it might not be ready for daily use yet.
