It would be useful to mention that

    $ git reset ~HEAD
doesn't specify a reset mode, so the default mode --mixed is used. I prefer to use

    $ git reset --soft ~HEAD
which leaves both the working tree and index unchanged.

I'm one of the weirdos that still holds on to mercurial as I genuinely prefer it's methods and workflow to git most of the time.

How the author describes handling work trees is exactly how they work in hg, and I find it enormously convenient vs the way that git by default really wants you to branch with work trees.

How I use them: My big expensive mechanical keyboard collection is mostly using QMK firmware. For whichever keyboards I'm currently using, I have a git worktree per-keyboard.

Note that, since the 2.55.0 release this June, git offers "instant fixup" as "git history fixup <SHA>"

I was going to say it is funny that git without staging, stash and branches is really close to the philosophy of jujutsu.

Then I found the article links to jj homepage
