SYNOPSIS
Not applicable (unknown command; try jj-prev --help if installed)
DESCRIPTION
The command jj-prev does not appear to be a standard Linux utility or core system command available in common distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian. Extensive checks across man pages, coreutils, busybox, and popular packages yield no matches.
It may refer to a custom script, an alias defined in a user's shell profile (e.g., ~/.bashrc), a function from a specific application like Jujutsu (jj VCS), or a plugin/extension in tools such as file managers (e.g., nnn, ranger) or editors (e.g., neovim with custom mappings). In Jujutsu (a Git-compatible DVCS), navigation to previous revisions uses jj goto -r @-1 or similar, but no dedicated jj-prev exists.
If it's from a niche tool, project-specific codebase, or third-party package, consult its documentation or run which jj-prev / type jj-prev to locate it. No official man page or usage is documented in standard repositories.
CAVEATS
Command not found in PATH of standard Linux systems. Potential custom/local binary. Verify with command -v jj-prev. May require specific package installation.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Run locate jj-prev or find /usr -name 'jj-prev' to search. Check shell aliases with alias | grep jj.
ALTERNATIVES
For VCS prev navigation: git checkout HEAD~1, jj show -r @-1.
HISTORY
No documented history; likely not part of any major Linux distro evolution or POSIX standard. Possibly emerged in modern tools like Jujutsu (jj, developed since 2022 by Martin von Zweigbergk).
