When doing a standard clone of a git repository with jj, you'll get a copy of
the project with a .jj directory containing the version control information.
$ jj git clone [email protected]:jbranchaud/my-repo
Fetching into new repo in "/path/of/local/repo"
...
$ exa --tree --all -L 1
.
├── .gitignore
├── .jj
├── Cargo.lock
├── Cargo.toml
└── srcThis is fine if I'm completely familiar with using
jujutsu. However, if I'm coming from
git and still learning, then it would be nice to be able to fallback to
familiar git commands when needed.
But without a .git directory, I get this:
$ git log
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .gitWhen cloning a git repo with jj, I can instruct it to colocate which means
that it will create both the .jj and the .git data directories in the
project.
$ jj git clone --colocate [email protected]:jbranchaud/my-repo
Fetching into new repo in "/path/of/local/repo"
...
$ exa --tree --all -L 1
