Options:
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
-V, --version
Print version
Global Options:
-R, --repository <REPOSITORY>
Path to repository to operate on
By default, Jujutsu searches for the closest .jj/ directory in an ancestor of the current
working directory.
--ignore-working-copy
Don't snapshot the working copy, and don't update it
By default, Jujutsu snapshots the working copy at the beginning of every command. The
working copy is also updated at the end of the command, if the command modified the
working-copy commit (`@`). If you want to avoid snapshotting the working copy and instead
see a possibly stale working-copy commit, you can use `--ignore-working-copy`. This may be
useful e.g. in a command prompt, especially if you have another process that commits the
working copy.
Loading the repository at a specific operation with `--at-operation` implies
`--ignore-working-copy`.
--no-integrate-operation
Run the command as usual but don't integrate any operations
When this option is given, the operations will still be created as usual but they will not
be integrated to the operation log. The working copy will also not be updated.
The command will print the resulting operation ID. You can pass that to e.g. `jj --at-op`
to inspect the resulting repo state, or you can pass it to `jj op restore` to restore the
repo to that state. You can also pass the ID to `jj op integrate` to integrate the
operation.
Note that this does *not* prevent side effects outside the repo. For example, `jj git push
--no-integrate-operation` will still perform the push.
--ignore-immutable
Allow rewriting immutable commits
By default, Jujutsu prevents rewriting commits in the configured set of immutable commits.
This option disables that check and lets you rewrite any commit but the root commit.
This option only affects the check. It does not affect the `immutable_heads()` revset or
the `immutable` template keyword.
--at-operation <AT_OPERATION>
Operation to load the repo at
Operation to load the repo at. By default, Jujutsu loads the repo at the most recent
operation, or at the merge of the divergent operations if any.
You can use `--at-op=<operation ID>` to see what the repo looked like at an earlier
operation. For example `jj --at-op=<operation ID> st` will show you what `jj st` would
have shown you when the given operation had just finished. `--at-op=@` is pretty much the
same as the default except that divergent operations will never be merged.
Use `jj op log` to find the operation ID you want. Any unambiguous prefix of the operation
ID is enough.
When loading the repo at an earlier operation, the working copy will be ignored, as if
`--ignore-working-copy` had been specified.
It is possible to run mutating commands when loading the repo at an earlier operation.
Doing that is equivalent to having run concurrent commands starting at the earlier
operation. There's rarely a reason to do that, but it is possible.
[alias: --at-op]
--debug
Enable debug logging
--color <WHEN>
When to colorize output
[possible values: always, never, debug, auto]
--quiet
Silence non-primary command output
For example, `jj file list` will still list files, but it won't tell you if the working
copy was snapshotted or if descendants were rebased.
Warnings and errors will still be printed.
--no-pager
Disable the pager
--config <NAME=VALUE>
Additional configuration options (can be repeated)
The name should be specified as TOML dotted keys. The value should be specified as a TOML
expression. If string value isn't enclosed by any TOML constructs (such as array
notation), quotes can be omitted.
--config-file <PATH>
Additional configuration files (can be repeated)
'jj help --help' lists available keywords. Use 'jj help -k' to show help for one of these keywords.

Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
