# jj.nvim
⚠️ **WORK IN PROGRESS** ⚠️
> **Note:** This project is pre-v1. Breaking changes may occur in the configuration, API, and features until v1.0.0 is released.
A Neovim plugin for [Jujutsu (jj)](https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj) version control system.
## About
This plugin aims to be something like vim-fugitive but for driving the jj-vcs CLI. The goal is to eventually provide features similar to git status, diffs, and pickers for managing Jujutsu repositories directly from Neovim.
![Demo](https://github.com/NicolasGB/jj.nvim/raw/main/assets/demo.gif)
## Current Features
- Basic jj command execution through `:J` command
- Terminal-based output display for jj commands
- Support jj subcommands including your aliases through the cmdline.
- First class citizens with ui integration
- `describe` / `desc` - Set change descriptions with a Git-style commit message editor
- `status` / `st` - Show repository status
- `log` - Display log history with configurable options
- `diff` - Show changes with optional filtering by current file
- `new` - Create a new change with optional parent selection
- `edit` - Edit a change
- `squash` - Squash the current diff to it's parent
- `rebase` - Rebase changes to a destination
- `bookmark create/delete` - Create and delete bookmarks
- `undo` - Undo the last operation
- `redo` - Redo the last undone operation
- Diff commands
- `:Jdiff [revision]` - Vertical split diff against a jj revision
- `:Jhdiff [revision]` - Horizontal split diff
- Picker for for [Snacks.nvim](https://github.com/folke/snacks.nvim)
- `jj status` Displays the current changes diffs
- `jj file_history` Displays a buffer's history changes and allows to edit it's change (including immutable changes)
## Enhanced integrations
Here are some cool features you can do with jj.nvim
### Diff any change
You can diff any change in your log history by simply pressing `d` on its line, yeah just like that!
![Diff-from-log](https://github.com/NicolasGB/jj.nvim/raw/main/assets/diff-log.gif)
### Edit changes
Jumping up and down your log history ?
In your log ouptut press `CR` in a line to directly edit a `mutable` change.
If you are sure what your are doing press `S-CR` (Shift Enter) to edit a `immutable` change.
![Edit-from-log](https://github.com/NicolasGB/jj.nvim/raw/main/assets/edit-log.gif)
### Create new changes from the log buffer
You can create new changes directly from the log buffer with multiple options:
- `n` - Create a new change branching off the revision under the cursor
- `<C-n>` - Create a new change after the revision under the cursor
- `<S-n>` - Create a new change after while ignoring immutability constraints
### Undo/Redo from the log buffer
You can undo/redo changes directly from the log buffer:
- `<S-u>` - Undo the last operation
- `<S-r>` - Redo the last undone operation
### Open a changed file
Just press enter to open the a file from the `status` output in your current window.
![Open-status](https://github.com/NicolasGB/jj.nvim/raw/main/assets/enter-status.gif)
### Restore a changed file
Press `<S-x>` on a file from the `status` output and that's it, it's restored.

## Installation
Using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim):
```lua
{
"nicolasgb/jj.nvim",
config = function()
require("jj").setup({})
end,
}
```
## Cmdline Usage
The plugin provides a `:J` command that accepts jj subcommands:
```sh
:J status
:J log
:J describe "Your change description"
:J new
:J # This will use your defined default command
:J <your-alias>
```
### Diff Commands
The plugin also provides `:Jdiff`, `:Jvdiff`, and `:Jhdiff` commands for diffing against specific revisions:
```sh
:Jdiff " Vertical diff against @- (parent)
:Jdiff @-2 " Vertical diff against specific revision
:Jvdiff main " Vertical diff against main bookmark
:Jhdiff trunk() " Horizontal diff against trunk
```
## Default Config
```lua
{
-- Setup snacks as a picker
picker = {
-- Here you can pass the options as you would for snacks.
-- It will be used when using the picker
snacks = {}
},
-- Customize syntax highlighting colors for the describe buffer
highlights = {
added = { fg = "#3fb950", ctermfg = "Green" }, -- Added files
modified = { fg = "#56d4dd", ctermfg = "Cyan" }, -- Modified files
deleted = { fg = "#f85149", ctermfg = "Red" }, -- Deleted files
renamed = { fg = "#d29922", ctermfg = "Yellow" }, -- Renamed files
},
-- Configure cmd module (describe editor, keymaps)
cmd = {
-- Configure describe editor
describe = {
editor = {
-- Choose the editor mode for describe command
-- "buffer" - Opens a Git-style commit message buffer with syntax highlighting (default)
-- "input" - Uses a simple vim.ui.input prompt
type = "buffer",
-- Customize keymaps for the describe editor buffer
keymaps = {
close = { "<Esc>", "<C-c>", "q" }, -- Keys to close editor without saving
}
}
},
-- Configure keymaps for command buffers
keymaps = {
-- Log buffer keymaps (set to nil to disable)
log = {
checkout = "<CR>", -- Edit revision under cursor
checkout_immutable = "<S-CR>", -- Edit revision (ignore immutability)
describe = "d", -- Describe revision under cursor
diff = "<S-d>", -- Diff revision under cursor
edit = "e", -- Edit revision under cursor
new = "n", -- Create new change branching off
new_after = "<C-n>", -- Create new change after revision
new_after_immutable = "<S-n>", -- Create new change after (ignore immutability)
undo = "<S-u>", -- Undo last operation
redo = "<S-r>", -- Redo last undone operation
},
-- Status buffer keymaps (set to nil to disable)
status = {
open_file = "<CR>", -- Open file under cursor
restore_file = "<S-x>", -- Restore file under cursor
},
-- Close keymaps (shared across all buffers)
close = { "q", "<Esc>" },
},
}
}
```
### Describe Editor Modes
The `describe.editor.type` option lets you choose how you want to write commit descriptions:
- **`"buffer"`** (default) - Opens a full buffer editor similar to Git's commit message editor
- Shows file changes with syntax highlighting
- Multi-line editing with proper formatting
- Close with `q` or `<Esc>`, save with `:w` or `:wq`
- **`"input"`** - Simple single-line input prompt
- Quick and minimal
- Good for short, single-line descriptions
- Uses `vim.ui.input()` which can be customized by UI plugins like dressing.nvim
Example:
```lua
require("jj").setup({
describe = {
editor = {
type = "input", -- Use simple input mode
}
}
})
```
You can also customize the keymaps for the describe editor buffer:
```lua
require("jj").setup({
describe = {
editor = {
type = "buffer",
keymaps = {
close = { "q", "<Esc>", "<C-c>" }, -- Customize close keybindings
}
}
}
})
```
### Highlight Customization
The `highlights` option allows you to customize the colors used in the describe buffer's file status display. Each highlight accepts standard Neovim highlight attributes:
- `fg` - Foreground color (hex or color name)
- `bg` - Background color
- `ctermfg` - Terminal foreground color
- `ctermbg` - Terminal background color
- `bold`, `italic`, `underline` - Text styles
Example with custom colors:
```lua
require("jj").setup({
highlights = {
modified = { fg = "#89ddff", bold = true },
added = { fg = "#c3e88d", ctermfg = "LightGreen" },
}
})
```
## Lua API Usage
Beyond the `:J` command, you can call functions directly from Lua for more control. The example config below shows how to use them with custom keymaps.
### Log Command Options
The `log` function accepts an options table:
```lua
jj.log({
summary = false, -- Show summary of changes (default: false)
reversed = false, -- Reverse the log order (default: false)
no_graph = false, -- Hide the graph (default: false)
limit = 20, -- Limit number of entries (default: 20)
revisions = "'all()'" -- Revision specifier (default: all reachable)
})
-- Examples:
jj.log({ limit = 50 }) -- Show 50 entries
jj.log({ revisions = "'main::@'" }) -- Show commits between main and current
jj.log({ summary = true, limit = 100 }) -- Show summary with high limit
jj.log({ raw = "-r 'main::@' --summary --no-graph" }) -- Pass raw flags directly
```
### New Command Options
The `new` function accepts an options table:
```lua
jj.new({
show_log = false, -- Display log after creating new change (default: false)
with_input = false, -- Prompt for parent revision (default: false)
args = "" -- Additional arguments to pass to jj new
})
-- Examples:
jj.new({ show_log = true }) -- Create new and show log
jj.new({ show_log = true, with_input = true }) -- Prompt for parent
jj.new({ args = "--before @" }) -- Pass custom args
```
### Diff Split Views
Use the `diff` module for opening splits:
```lua
jj.diff.vsplit() -- Vertical split diff against parent
jj.diff.vsplit({ rev = "main" }) -- Vertical split against specific revision
jj.diff.hsplit() -- Horizontal split diff
jj.diff.hsplit({ rev = "@-2" }) -- Horizontal split against @-2
```
## Example config
```lua
{
"nicolasgb/jj.nvim",
dependencies = {
"folke/snacks.nvim", -- Optional only if you use picker's
},
config = function()
local jj = require("jj")
jj.setup({
cmd = {
describe = {
editor = {
type = "buffer",
keymaps = {
close = { "q", "<Esc>", "<C-c>" },
}
}
},
keymaps = {
log = {
checkout = "<CR>",
describe = "d",
diff = "<S-d>",
},
status = {
open_file = "<CR>",
restore_file = "<S-x>",
},
close = { "q", "<Esc>" },
},
},
highlights = {
-- Customize colors if desired
modified = { fg = "#89ddff" },
}
})

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>jd", jj.describe, { desc = "JJ describe" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>jl", jj.log, { desc = "JJ log" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>je", jj.edit, { desc = "JJ edit" })

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>jy", jj.redo, { desc = "JJ redo" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>jr", jj.rebase, { desc = "JJ rebase" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>jb", jj.bookmark_create, { desc = "JJ bookmark create" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>jB", jj.bookmark_delete, { desc = "JJ bookmark delete" })
-- Diff commands
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>dj", jj.diff.vsplit, { desc = "JJ diff vertical" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>dJ", jj.diff.hsplit, { desc = "JJ diff horizontal" })
-- Pickers
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>gj", jj.picker.status, { desc = "JJ Picker status" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>gl", jj.picker.file_history, { desc = "JJ Picker file history" })
-- Some functions like `log` can take parameters
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>jL", function()
jj.log {
revisions = "'all()'", -- equivalent to jj log -r ::
}
end, { desc = "JJ log all" })
-- This is an alias i use for moving bookmarks its so good
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>jt", function()
jj.j "tug"
jj.log {}
end, { desc = "JJ tug" })
end,
}
```
## Requirements
- [Jujutsu](https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj) installed and available in PATH
## Contributing
This is an early-stage project. Contributions are welcome, but please be aware that the API and features are likely to change significantly.
## Documentation
Once the plugin is more complete i'll write docs for each of the commands.
## FAQ
- Telescope Suport? Planned but i don't use it, it's already thought of by design, will implement it at some point or if someone submits a PR i'll accept it gladly.
