You can switch an existing git repo to jj by using:

jj git init --git-repo my-repo

I think (but CANNOT PROMISE) that just removing the .jj folder will bring you back, but definitely take a backup of .git before you try this in case I’m wrong.

No that is correct when in colocate mode (which is the default mode). Simply removing the .jj folder will "de-jj" the repo entirely, but will leave you in a headless state. Simple to fix with a `git switch` though.

If you are _not_ in colocate mode, the .git folder is located _inside_ the .jj folder. So worth checking!
