It is unfortunately developing very slowly and it is impossible to interact with git repos... which nowadays is basically every repo:-(
Take a look at jj. It is not as ambitious, but develops faster and you can use it with any git repository out there (as long as it does not need git submodules that is).
It's hard to understand what exactly will change for me if I used pijul vs git. What will be noticeably different?
I can't speak for everyday workflow (having discovered this project less than a week ago), but rebase being unnecessary and cherry-pick not creating duplicate commits seem like the most notable advantages to me.
When working with git, and I have a separate working copy, my options to sync are either rebase or create a merge commit.
It sounds to me like the pijul workflow is almost equivalent to just doing a merge commit instead of rebasing. Am I correct here? What's the difference then?
