+## 1. Overview
+
+- `jujutsu - jj` is a new(ish) version control system originally developed by Martin Von Zweigbergk of Google.
+- jujutsu is two things:
+  - **It is a new front-end to Git**
+  - **It is a new design for distributed version control**. In particular, Jujutsu brings to the table a few key concepts - none of which are themselves novel, but the combination of which is _really_ nice to use in practice:
+    - _Changes_ are distinct from _revisions_: an idea borrowed from Mercurial, but quite different from Git's model.
+    - Conflicts are first-class item: an idea borrowed from [Pijul](https://pijul.org/) and [Darcs](https://darcs.net/).
+    - The user interface is not only reasonable but actually really good: an idea borrowed from … literally every VCS other than Git.
