What front ends work with jujutsu? Do I have to start doing all on the command line, or can I use existing clients such as Fork?

Kudos for the article. I have been seeing jj here and there, but this is the first that made me want to try it.




AFAIK there is no polished standalone frontend for jj yet. https://github.com/gulbanana/gg comes closest but I ran into some quirks when using it on git compatible/colocated repos.

Someone has made a VSCode plugin but it's closed source and I believe it will be paid at some point? https://www.visualjj.com/

If you are willing to use a TUI, jj-fzf (https://github.com/tim-janik/jj-fzf) has been wonderful and development is extremely active too.

I exclusively use git through the GUI, but the jj CLI improves so much over the git CLI that I'm willing to live with the CLI for now.

Still hoping that the GUIs become more polished though, and also for Inteliij IDEA integration.


I've been itching to use jj for real but the lack of a dedicated Neovim plugin killed my enthusiasm a bit.

Yes, regular git plugins sort-of mostly works, but it's different enough to introduce a lot of painful edges when you do.
