howdy y'all,

i've been deep in jj for a while and been experimenting with jj workspaces for parallel workflows. it's more intuitive than git worktrees but it still has a couple of gotchas that have been a hindrance to my ideal workflow.

so I built jj-navi - a tiny rust based cli that makes jj workspace orchestration a lot less pain in the ass.

interesting bits:

- `navi switch ` - creates/switchs workspaces and cds into them automatically (via shell integration)

- `navi list` - shows insertions/deletions across workspaces and also runs jj snapshot (so you don't see stale work)

- auto complete for all commands

- `navi merge` - duplicates, rebases, preserves source

check it out here at: https://github.com/eersnington/jj-navi

also, this is heavily inspired by worktrunk (still my daily driver replacement for git worktrees) and jj-ryu by dillon mulroy from the orange cloud forking company.

would love y'alls feedback, especially from heavy jj + parallel agent users on what can be improved.…
