I tend to `git add -p` and create different commits that I put on different branches if they are unrelated.

Doesn't feel painful in git, but I'd like to see an example doing that with jj. Maybe I'll try.

jj lets you do this with changes that are related.

I can do it with changes that are related. But I understand that jj makes it trivial, which is not a life-changer but it's nice. Does that sound about right?
