## AI statement

This text was all written by hand by [Evan Martin](https://neugierig.org/), a
human. I disclaim this in particular so you can expect that the choices made in
what to mention, what to leave out, and in what order were carefully considered;
no slop here!

## Alternatives

If this tutorial doesn't work out for you, try another:

[Steve's Jujutsu tutorial](https://steveklabnik.github.io/jujutsu-tutorial/)is the most recommended entry point, and is more conversational than this.- The
[Jujutsu documentation](https://www.jj-vcs.dev/latest/)has a tutorial, which is heavier on the details right from the start.
