I'm still struggling most with the fact that my day-to-day work involves a git first platform like GitHub.

Although jj as a vcs system, it does feel better, working with git through it still feels like a chore, but to be fair I only gave it a day before going back to git.

Does anyone have any good resources on how to augment a git flow through the lens of a git hosting platform to work smoothly and still reap the benefits of jj?

I'm not sure what the hangup is, TBH. I use `jj` with GitHub and ADO every day, and it works great.

What specific challenges are you running into that make it feel like a chore?

Hmm, it was a while back so now I'm struggling to recall, but I remember feeling like I'm going against the grain of easily using GitHub. I followed this exact tutorial at the time and it looks like there are now sections on how to work with GitHub.

Perhaps I need to force myself to commit for longer...

What problems are you running into?

The jujutsu docs have a page for this - it has everything I needed.
