I really love the jjui TUI. For non-emacs users who want a great TUI for jj definitely check it out.

one thing I'm missing in jjui which jj cmdline does natively is rebase onto multiple heads - using this for quickly testing my branch on some other pr and latest main. other than that agreed, helps a lot with tedious noting down of change id prefixes.

you can do this by using the "set parents" operation (shift+m) which allows you to add/remove parents to a revision. https://idursun.github.io/jjui/revisions/set-parents/

Yes I do this all the time. All my in flight PRs are octopus merged together and I work on top of all of them.

Thank you!

This is something I've never done before. Are you just repeating -o, creating a merge commit?

If that's the case, it also seems like you can do jj duplicate and repeat -o if you just want to create a branch to temporarily test against another branch and main.

yes, exactly this, multiple -o. I sometimes have two or three branches which I keep a single merge branch on top of and being able to switch out the parents is super convenient.
