β¨ jj-file-chmod(1) β General Commands Manual β¨
okay bestie, gather round π this is jj-file-chmod, a page from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally the cutest way to set or remove the executable bit for paths in your repo. yes, the whole repo. on any platform. obsessed.
πΈ NAME πΈ
jj-file-chmod β sets or removes the executable bit for paths in the repo π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
jj file chmod [-r|--revision] [-R|--repository] [--ignore-working-copy]
[--no-integrate-operation] [--ignore-immutable] [--at-operation]
[--debug] [--color] [--quiet] [--no-pager] [--config] [--config-file]
[-h|--help] <MODE> <FILESETS>
π DESCRIPTION π
Sets or removes the executable bit for paths in the repo. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly β¨
Unlike the POSIX chmod, jj file chmod also works on Windows, on conflicted files, and on arbitrary revisions. no cap, it just works everywhere ππ
π OPTIONS π
-r,--revision <REVSET>[default:@] β the revision you wanna update. defaults to@, obviously, main character energy π-h,--helpβ print help. and if you want the short lil summary, hit it with-hπ<MODE>β the vibe you're setting. possible values:n: make a path non-executable (alias:normal) πx: make a path executable (alias:executable) π₯
<FILESETS>β the paths you want the executable bit changed for π¦
π GLOBAL OPTIONS π
-R,--repository <REPOSITORY>β path to the repo you wanna operate on.
By default, Jujutsu searches for the closest .jj/ directory in an ancestor of the current working directory. it's giving "follow the breadcrumbs" π§
--ignore-working-copyβ don't snapshot the working copy, and don't update it.
By default, Jujutsu snapshots the working copy at the beginning of every command. The working copy is also updated at the end of the command, if the command modified the working-copy commit (@). If you want to avoid snapshotting the working copy and instead see a possibly stale working-copy commit, you can use --ignore-working-copy. This may be useful e.g. in a command prompt, especially if you have another process that commits the working copy.
Loading the repository at a specific operation with --at-operation implies --ignore-working-copy. iykyk π
--no-integrate-operationβ run the command as usual but don't integrate any operations.
When this option is given, the operations will still be created as usual but they will not be integrated to the operation log. The working copy will also not be updated.
The command will print the resulting operation ID. You can pass that to e.g. jj --at-op to inspect the resulting repo state, or you can pass it to jj op restore to restore the repo to that state. You can also pass the ID to jj op integrate to integrate the operation.
β οΈ Note that this does not prevent side effects outside the repo. For example, jj git push --no-integrate-operation will still perform the push. bestie, the push is happening fr fr π
--ignore-immutableβ allow rewriting immutable commits.
By default, Jujutsu prevents rewriting commits in the configured set of immutable commits. This option disables that check and lets you rewrite any commit but the root commit.
This option only affects the check. It does not affect the immutable_heads() revset or the immutable template keyword.
--at-operation <AT_OPERATION>β operation to load the repo at.
Operation to load the repo at. By default, Jujutsu loads the repo at the most recent operation, or at the merge of the divergent operations if any.
You can use --at-op=<operation ID> to see what the repo looked like at an earlier operation. For example jj --at-op=<operation ID> st will show you what jj st would have shown you when the given operation had just finished. --at-op=@ is pretty much the same as the default except that divergent operations will never be merged.
Use jj op log to find the operation ID you want. Any unambiguous prefix of the operation ID is enough. slay β¨
When loading the repo at an earlier operation, the working copy will be ignored, as if --ignore-working-copy had been specified.
It is possible to run mutating commands when loading the repo at an earlier operation. Doing that is equivalent to having run concurrent commands starting at the earlier operation. There's rarely a reason to do that, but it is possible. (iconic behaviour honestly π«Ά)
--debugβ enable debug logging π--color <WHEN>β when to colorize output. possible values:alwaysπneverπdebugπautoπ
--quietβ silence non-primary command output.
For example, jj file list will still list files, but it won't tell you if the working copy was snapshotted or if descendants were rebased.
Warnings and errors will still be printed. like, she'll be quiet but she will NOT let you walk into a problem π
--no-pagerβ disable the pager π¦--config <NAME=VALUE>β additional configuration options (can be repeated).
The name should be specified as TOML dotted keys. The value should be specified as a TOML expression. If string value isn't enclosed by any TOML constructs (such as array notation), quotes can be omitted.
--config-file <PATH>β additional configuration files (can be repeated) π
okay that's the whole page, you're welcome π this came to you from the source chmod in the jj-file-chmod(1) era β general commands manual, and yes, this is the part where I say bye bestie, go chmod something and be the main character of your own repo ππβ¨
