jj git init

Create a new Git backed Jujutsu repo. Note: Unless --colocate is used, it is not a valid Git repository and git commands can't be used on it. More information: https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/cli-reference/#jj-git-init.

• Create a new Git backed repo in the current directory:

jj git init

• Create a new Git backed repo in the given directory:

jj git init {{path/to/directory}}

• Initialize the Jujutsu repository as a valid Git repository (allowing the use of both jj and git commands in the same directory):

jj git init --colocate

• Initialize the Jujutsu repository backed by an existing Git repository:

jj git init --git-repo {{git_repo}}
