## Jujutsu's Core Tenets
|
|
|
|
Jujutsu's core tenets are:
|
|
|
|
* Separation of logic and UI: It should be easy to create new UIs (CLIs, GUIs,
|
|
TUIs, servers) without having to duplicate logic.
|
|
* Easy-to-use APIs: It should be easy to create new commands. For example,
|
|
each command should not have to worry about concurrency, working-copy state,
|
|
and rebasing descendants of rewritten commits.
|
|
* User-friendliness: Making the working copy a commit is simpler. This is
|
|
how the project started.
|
|
* The repo is the source of truth: Most commands should operate on the commit
|
|
graph. The working copy is just one way of editing commits.
|
|
* Pluggable storage: Must be easy to integrate with different commit storage,
|
|
virtual file systems and more.
|
|
* Git-interoperability: Git is everywhere. We need to have good
|
|
interoperability to be adopted.
|
|
* All operations must be able to scale to Google-scale repos (lots of commits,
|
|
lots of files): Laziness is important, must avoid accessing data
|
|
unnecessarily.
|
|
* Having as few states as possible.
|
|
* Make it incredibly hard to lose work in your repo.
|
|
* Concurrent modifications to the repo should be safe.
|
|
* Allow concurrent edits on any commit, pending or finished.
|
|
* Make a "stacked diffs" workflow as easy as possible.
