## Jujutsu's Core Tenets
Jujutsu's core tenets are:
* Separation of logic and UI: It should be as easy to create new UIs (CLIs,
GUIs, TUIs, servers) without having to duplicate logic.
* Easy-to-use APIs: It should be easy to create new commands. For example,
each command should not have to worry about concurrency, working-copy state,
and rebasing descendants of rewritten commits.
* User-friendliness: Making the working copy a commit is simpler. This is
how the project started.
* The repository is the source of truth: Most commands should operate on the
commit graph. The working copy is just one way of editing commits.
* Pluggable storage: Must be easy to integrate with different commit storage,
virtual file systems and more.
* Git-interop: Git is everywhere. We need to have good interop to be adopted.
* All operations must be able to scale to Google-scale repos (lots of commits,
lots of files): Laziness is important, must avoid accessing data
unnecessarily.
* Having as few states as possible.
* Make it incredibly hard to lose work in your repository.
* Concurrent modifications to the repo should be safe.
* Allow concurrent edits on any commit, pending or finished.
* Make a "stacked diffs" workflow as easy as possible.
