Goal

In the next few pages you'll discover:

  • How to create and manipulate local Bookmarks.
  • How Bookmarks won't follow your work, like they do in Git. Aargh!
  • How to bind Bookmarks to remote branches.
  • What Bookmark conflicts are and how to resolve them.

Bookmarks and Remotes

Managing branches with Jujutsu is easy. If you like, you could mentally translate what Git calls "branches" to "Bookmarks" and you are done: just a matter of naming.

But this would be a horrible oversimplification: it won't help reasoning about certain cases that are too common to be ignored, such as when Jujutsu tells you that a Bookmark has a conflict.
Huh? Conflicts in Bookmarks? Git has nothing like that...

So, the first thing I'll help you do is build a more solid and complete mental model.
