Installation and setup

The best installation method depends on your system. I recommend reading the official installation instructions. You can also download a binary directly from the release page or even copy the following commands in your terminal for a completely automatic installation.

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl --silent --location \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/houseabsolute/ubi/master/bootstrap/bootstrap-ubi.sh |
    TARGET=~/.local/bin sh
~/.local/bin/ubi -p jj-vcs/jj

Run jj --version to verify the installation. It may be necessary to restart your terminal.

You should tell Jujutsu who you are, so it can track the author of each change.

jj config set --user user.name "Firstname Lastname"
jj config set --user user.email "email.address@provider.com"

If you want shell completions, follow the instructions here. If you don't know what a "shell completion" is, don't worry, it's not important.
