In my mind, in some sense, every commit can simultaneously be a stash, staging area, part of a branch and more. Because you can easily create endless branches on top of, beside, before, as merges of, etc.. any commit. And it all automatically rebases, conflicts often auto-resolve (or at least don't block you immediately).

I really don't know how to best describe it. But there's a reason that many people are quite literally evangelizing it in every post that comes up - who does this for git, or anything?

Just give it a try. And, even better, use it via jjui
