history

Project history and usage

lazyjj is a Rust and Ratatui terminal UI for Jujutsu, the `jj` version-control system. It brings the lazygit style of keyboard navigation to a newer VCS with change-based workflows.

Project history

The public GitHub repository was created on May 21, 2024, and v0.1.0 was published the same day. Releases continued through v0.6.1 on September 10, 2025.

Adoption history

lazyjj grew with interest in Jujutsu rather than as a standalone source-control system. The README documents installation through cargo-binstall, `cargo install`, pre-built binaries, Arch Linux, and source builds; Homebrew, Nix, pacman, and Winget package metadata in the batch also show it entering package-manager channels. GitHub repository metadata recorded 1,150 stars on July 1, 2026.

How it is used

The tool runs inside an existing `jj` repository and shells out to the `jj` CLI. It provides log, files, bookmarks, command-log, command-box, and configuration views for operations such as editing changes, describing changes, abandoning changes, setting bookmarks, fetching, pushing, and squashing.

Why package nerds care

lazyjj is significant because Jujutsu deliberately rethinks Git-style workflows, and lazyjj packages that newer mental model into a familiar TUI form. It is also a Rust/Ratatui counterpart to the Go-based lazygit/lazydocker lineage.
