jj-help

jj help [-k KEYWORD] [COMMAND...]

jj help prints the help text for jj itself or for the given subcommand(s). It is the same information as `jj [command] --help`, with extra pages for language topics that are not commands.`jj help --help` lists the keyword names. `jj help -k` then shows one of those topics: bookmarks (named pointers similar to Git branches), configuration files and options, filesets, the glossary, revsets, templates, and a tutorial. The CLI reference at docs.jj-vcs.dev is generated from the same help text but is not guaranteed to match `jj help` exactly; the local command is authoritative.

COMMAND

Print help for this subcommand. Repeat for nested commands (`jj help bookmark list`).

Show help for a conceptual topic instead of a command. Values: `bookmarks`, `config`, `filesets`, `glossary`, `revsets`, `templates`, `tutorial`.

Subcommand of jj. Keyword help is not a man page and is not opened in a browser. Nested command names must match the CLI (`jj help git remote add`, not a slash path). The published CLI reference is experimental and can differ from this command's output.
