Feature request: Add Jujutsu (jj) support #271

Closed

Description

@tazawa-masayoshi

Summary

Add support for Jujutsu (jj), a Git-compatible VCS that's gaining popularity among developers.

Motivation

jj commands produce output very similar to git — jj status, jj diff, jj log are analogous to their git counterparts. Since rtk already compresses git output effectively, adding jj support should be straightforward.

Suggested subcommands

jj command git equivalent Notes
jj status git status Nearly identical output
jj diff git diff Same diff format
jj log git log Similar structured output
jj show git show Same format

Workaround

Currently, jj commands pass through without compression. There's no hook-level workaround since the compression logic lives in the rtk binary.

Additional context

Jujutsu uses Git as its storage backend, so the output formats are very close to Git's. The existing git formatters may work with minimal adaptation.

    Fixed in v0.30.0 — jj.toml TOML filter. Tested locally: rtk jj log strips blank lines, keeps commit entries.
