How to move through history?

How do I move to a specific point in history without unrecording every single change until then? I am trying out pijul 1.0.0-beta and trying to unlearn git commands ;). If I understand correctly, I could fork a channel (in order to not loose the current state) and pijul unrecord a change by a change until I’ve reached the target point in history. But is there a quicker way? Maybe a git-pijul-Rosetta would be helpful?

Code Review Workflow

Hey everyone! I’ve recently discovered about this project and I was really impressed with everything. I’ve tried reading everything I could find online about Pijul but I was left with a question about a correct workflow especially the code review process. As I understand it, the way to submit changes for merging into the main channel is through a nest “discussion” which is basically a set of patches (the diff between my local main and the remote main or a local channel and a rem…

order of changes with push and pull

How is `pijul log` output sorted?

That’s handy. I had assumed that because changes in Pijul aren’t inherently ordered, there would be no way to view the history of a channel in the order that it happened. But since pijul log preserves the order that changes were applied, it gives us a nice “linear history”, just like Git users strive for. (Although it’s not quite accurate if a change was removed with unrecord.)
