About Jujutsu

Jujutsu is a version control system that uses Git repositories as its storage backend while offering a simpler model: the working copy is itself a commit, history rewriting is automatic, and every operation is recorded in an operation log that can be undone. It interoperates with existing Git remotes and tools while adding first-class conflict handling.
