Questions, answered.
The things people ask before they download. If yours isn’t here, just ask.
Do I need to know Jujutsu?
No. wyrm is built so you can get useful work done before jj fully clicks — the log graph, diffs, and push preview read like any good git GUI. As you go, jj’s ideas surface naturally. And if you’ve never touched jj, the git → jj tutorial is the fastest way in.
Does wyrm replace Git?
No. jj is Git-compatible — it reads and writes ordinary git repositories. wyrm works with your existing repos on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or anywhere else. Your teammates can keep using plain git; nothing about your history changes underneath them.
Is jj hard to learn?
It’s smaller than git, not bigger. jj drops the staging area, the detached HEAD, the stash — the parts that trip people up — and replaces them with a handful of ideas that hold together. Most of the friction in git simply isn’t there. wyrm’s job is to make those ideas visible while you work.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS today, as a native app. Linux and Windows are coming — wyrm is built cross-platform from the ground up, so it’s a question of polish and packaging, not a rewrite.
Is my code uploaded anywhere?
No. wyrm is local-first. Your repositories, diffs, and history stay on your machine — nothing is sent to a server to make the app work. The only network traffic is to your own git remotes when you fetch or push, plus a lightweight sign-in. More detail on the security page.
What’s free?
One repository, forever — no trial timer, no nag screen. Pro unlocks unlimited repos and a few power features. The full breakdown lives on the pricing page.
How do I get help?
Reach out on the contact page — it’s one person reading the other end, so real answers, not a ticket queue. Bugs and feature requests are welcome too.
Where do I learn jj?
Start in the documentation. If you’re coming from git, the git → jj tutorial maps the commands you already know onto their jj equivalents — the fastest path from “I use git” to “I get jj”.
