> Are you sure about that? Git reset doesn't need s chapter to explain. But it gets one — as they pointed out, Chapter 2.4 of the Git book (https://git-scm.com/book/id/v2/Git-Basics-Undoing-Things) is about undoing things. And to be clear, that's not just `git reset` — depending on what exactly you need to undo, you should use different tools, including amending existing commits and using `git checkout`. All of which will have different effects, and some of which can be dangerous if you misunderstand them (such as `git checkout` which can destroy data if you've not properly committed it yet). Meanwhile, whatever the last thing you did with `jj` was, `jj undo` will undo it. On top of that `jj op log` will provide you a list of all the things you've done, and `jj op restore` can reset the entire repository to a previous state. This isn't about UX: Git doesn't have the capability to do what JJ is doing here, because it doesn't track the evolution of the repository as a whole in the way that JJ does. |
