		malkia 8 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Git and Jujutsu: In Miniature You would be surprised. Google uses "g4" (e.g. "p4"-like), much like many game developers like me. It's not like we don't use "git" (we have devops/infra groups) - but lots of folks use Perforce/PlasticSCM/other systems that are not "git". Just because "git" is super-popular, does not mean that ANY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPER SHOULD BE FAMILIAR with it... Sorry but no!

Well if you can use jj, it means that you work against a git repository, doesn't it? Or does jj work with g4 repositories?

I guess I have to give `jj` a try then!
