## Project history and usage

Jujutsu UI, packaged as `jjui`, is a terminal user interface for the Jujutsu version-control system. It turns common `jj` actions such as revset browsing, rebasing, squashing, bookmark movement, operation-log inspection, previews, and revision-detail work into keyboard-driven terminal workflows.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created in September 2024. Its README presents the project as a personal-needs-driven TUI by Ibrahim Dursun, with an open invitation for feature requests and contributions.

The README and generated documentation show the tool tracking Jujutsu's own evolution: it depends on a minimum supported `jj` version and exposes Jujutsu-native ideas such as revsets, operation logs, evologs, and bookmark movement through a Go terminal application.

### Adoption history

The input package metadata records `jjui` in Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, and Winget, which suggests quick packaging attention from the same audience adopting Jujutsu itself. The README also lists AUR packaging and a Nix flake path, showing that Unix package-manager users were part of the intended distribution model.

### How it is used

`jjui` is used inside a Jujutsu repository to inspect and edit the revision tree without memorizing every command-line form. It offers keyboard actions for rebasing, squashing, previewing diffs, moving bookmarks, opening the operation log, undoing and redoing operations, and jumping through revisions.

It complements `jj` rather than replacing it: the README frames it as a UI for interacting with Jujutsu, and installation instructions still assume users have or use Jujutsu underneath.

### Why package nerds care

`jjui` matters as an ecosystem signal around Jujutsu. When a younger VCS attracts a dedicated TUI, packaged across several package managers, it shows users are building workflow-specific tools rather than treating the core CLI as a curiosity.

### Timeline

- 2024: The GitHub repository is created.
- 2024: Early version tags begin with v0.1.
- 2025: The README documents Homebrew, Winget, Scoop, AUR, Nix, Go install, source builds, and prebuilt release binaries as distribution paths.
- 2026: The README records compatibility with `jj` v0.36 or newer.

### Related projects

- `jjui` is directly tied to `jj`/Jujutsu. Related terminal tooling includes other VCS TUIs, but its command set is specifically organized around Jujutsu concepts such as revsets, operation logs, bookmarks, and revision changes.

### Sources

- Project README, project documentation site, GitHub repository metadata, GitHub release metadata, and Homebrew formula metadata.
