jk

jk is a log-first terminal UI for Jujutsu.

It keeps a jj log-like view open, lets you refresh in place, and adds interactive navigation for reviewing change descriptions and selected-change diffs.

Current Status

The supported surface includes:

• log view backed by jj;
• manual refresh;
• movement by change, page, and edge;
• inline expansion of the selected change description;
• selected-change diff inspection from the log or with jk diff [REVISION];
• diff search, file/hunk navigation, horizontal scrolling, and folding;
• mode-specific help overlays;
• retryable empty/error states for selected diffs.

Commands

jk
jk log
jk diff
jk diff <revision>
jk -R /path/to/repo -n 20

Bare jk follows jj's configured ui.default-command when that command is log-like enough for navigation. Use jk log for the explicit log path.

Roadmap

Near-term diff-review improvements include a file jump overlay, search highlighting, clearer current-hunk affordances, richer fold indicators, wrapping mode, and better presentation for binary, rename, conflict, mode-change, and permission-change output.

Broader directions include automatic refresh, selected-change show, operation log inspection, repository status and bookmark views, copy/export helpers, and carefully scoped mutation actions.

See the repository README for the full status and development workflow.
