Hi Martin,

We had somewhat the same exchange on reddit a few weeks ago under a similar article if you remember :)

Once again, I really appreciate the time you are taking to explain those things!

Everytime you chip in, it's always spot on and crystal clear. This is the kind of informations those people should put in their articles.

Have a good day and keep up the good work!

Since you're a git expert, you understand the underlying mechanics of your tool and you can explain to me why a command like Git rebase is better in JJ than in git.

Which every articles I read on JJ failed to do correctly.

My point is not to avoid using other tools to do your job. My point is that if you don't understand something, using a layer on top of it won't help you at all understand things in the long run.

I want to see JJ articles made by Git experts; not JJ articles made by people who fear Git lol

Also:

> I don't hate git

but

> I have my trusty alias, fuckgit

Someone who doesn't hate git would have named this alias quite differently...

In the past 2 months, I saw 3 articles about JJ.

Always the same starting point: "I don't understand how git works".

If you can't understand git, one of the most used tool in the whole industry, this is a *you* problem. You MUST take the time to understand how it works properly. Every job you'll get and every projects you'll work on will use a Version Control (at least I hope).

Abstracting this knowledge by using a tool that does things quite differently won't help you at all on the long run.
