Templates

Jujutsu supports a functional language to customize output of commands. The language consists of literals, keywords, operators, functions, and methods.

A couple of jj commands accept a template via -T/--template option.

Keywords

Keywords represent objects of different types; the types are described in a follow-up section. In addition to context-specific keywords, the top-level object can be referenced as self.

Commit keywords

In jj log/jj evolog templates, all 0-argument methods of the Commit type are available as keywords. For example, commit_id is equivalent to self.commit_id().

Operation keywords

In jj op log templates, all 0-argument methods of the Operation type are available as keywords. For example, current_operation is equivalent to self.current_operation().

Operators

The following operators are supported.

  • x.f(): Method call.
  • -x: Negate integer value.
  • !x: Logical not.
  • x >= y, x > y, x <= y, x < y: Greater than or equal/greater than/ lesser than or equal/lesser than. Operands must be Integers.
  • x == y, x != y: Equal/not equal. Operands must be either Boolean, Integer, or String.
  • x && y: Logical and, short-circuiting.
  • x || y: Logical or, short-circuiting.
  • x ++ y: Concatenate x and y templates.

(listed in order of binding strengths)

Global functions

The following functions are defined.

  • fill(width: Integer, content: Template) -> Template: Fill lines at the given width.
  • indent(prefix: Template, content: Template) -> Template: Indent non-empty lines by the given prefix.
  • pad_start(width: Integer, content: Template[, fill_char: Template]): Pad (or right-justify) content by adding leading fill characters. The content shouldn't have newline character.
  • pad_end(width: Integer, content: Template[, fill_char: Template]): Pad (or left-justify) content by adding trailing fill characters. The content shouldn't have newline character.
  • truncate_start(width: Integer, content: Template): Truncate content by removing leading characters. The content shouldn't have newline character.
  • truncate_end(width: Integer, content: Template): Truncate content by removing trailing characters. The content shouldn't have newline character.
  • label(label: Template, content: Template) -> Template: Apply label to the content. The label is evaluated as a space-separated string.
  • raw_escape_sequence(content: Template) -> Template: Preserves any escape sequences in content (i.e., bypasses sanitization) and strips labels. Note: This function is intended for escape sequences and as such, its output is expected to be invisible / of no display width. Outputting content with nonzero display width may break wrapping, indentation etc.
  • if(condition: Boolean, then: Template[, else: Template]) -> Template: Conditionally evaluate then/else template content.
  • coalesce(content: Template...) -> Template: Returns the first non-empty content.
  • concat(content: Template...) -> Template: Same as content_1 ++ ... ++ content_n.
  • separate(separator: Template, content: Template...) -> Template: Insert separator between non-empty contents.
  • surround(prefix: Template, suffix: Template, content: Template) -> Template: Surround non-empty content with texts such as parentheses.

Types

Boolean type

No methods are defined. Can be constructed with false or true literal.

Commit type

This type cannot be printed. The following methods are defined.

  • description() -> String
  • change_id() -> ChangeId
  • commit_id() -> CommitId
  • parents() -> List<Commit>
  • author() -> Signature
  • committer() -> Signature
  • mine() -> Boolean: Commits where the author's email matches the email of the current user.
  • working_copies() -> String: For multi-workspace repository, indicate working-copy commit as <workspace name>@.
  • current_working_copy() -> Boolean: True for the working-copy commit of the current workspace.
  • bookmarks() -> List<RefName>: Local and remote bookmarks pointing to the commit. A tracking remote bookmark will be included only if its target is different from the local one.
  • local_bookmarks() -> List<RefName>: All local bookmarks pointing to the commit.
  • remote_bookmarks() -> List<RefName>: All remote bookmarks pointing to the commit.
  • tags() -> List<RefName>

  • immutable() -> Boolean: True if the commit is included in the set of immutable commits.
  • contained_in(revset: String) -> Boolean: True if the commit is included in the provided revset.
  • conflict() -> Boolean: True if the commit contains merge conflicts.
  • empty() -> Boolean: True if the commit modifies no files.
  • diff([files: String]) -> TreeDiff: Changes from the parents within the files expression. All files are compared by default, but it is likely to change in future version to respect the command line path arguments.
  • root() -> Boolean: True if the commit is the root commit.

CommitId / ChangeId type

The following methods are defined.

  • .normal_hex() -> String: Normal hex representation (0-9a-f), useful for ChangeId, whose canonical hex representation is "reversed" (z-k).

Option type

An option can be implicitly converted to Boolean denoting whether the contained value is set. If set, all methods of the contained value can be invoked. If not set, an error will be reported inline on method call.

RefName type

The following methods are defined.

  • .name() -> String: Local bookmark or tag name.
  • .remote() -> String: Remote name or empty if this is a local ref.

  • .upper() -> Option<Integer>: Upper bound if known.
  • .exact() -> Option<Integer>: Exact value if upper bound is known and it equals to the lower bound.
  • .zero() -> Boolean: True if upper bound is known and is 0.

String type

A string can be implicitly converted to Boolean. The following methods are defined.

  • .len() -> Integer: Length in UTF-8 bytes.
  • .contains(needle: Template) -> Boolean
  • .first_line() -> String

  • .substr(start: Integer, end: Integer) -> String: Extract substring. The start/end indices should be specified in UTF-8 bytes. Negative values count from the end of the string.

String literals

String literals must be surrounded by single or double quotes (' or "). A double-quoted string literal supports the following escape sequences:

  • \": double quote
  • \\: backslash
  • \t: horizontal tab
  • \r: carriage return
  • \n: new line
  • \0: null
  • \e: escape (i.e., \x1b)
  • \xHH: byte with hex value HH

Other escape sequences are not supported. Any UTF-8 characters are allowed inside a string literal, with two exceptions: unescaped "-s and uses of \ that don't form a valid escape sequence.

A single-quoted string literal has no escape syntax. ' can't be expressed inside a single-quoted string literal.

Template type

Most types can be implicitly converted to Template. No methods are defined.

Timestamp type

The following methods are defined.

  • .ago() -> String: Format as relative timestamp.
  • .format(format: String) -> String: Format with the specified strftime-like format string.
  • .utc() -> Timestamp: Convert timestamp into UTC timezone.
  • .local() -> Timestamp: Convert timestamp into local timezone.
  • .after(date: String) -> Boolean: True if the timestamp is exactly at or after the given date.
  • .before(date: String) -> Boolean: True if the timestamp is before, but not including, the given date.

TimestampRange type

The following methods are defined.

  • .start() -> Timestamp
  • .end() -> Timestamp
  • .duration() -> String

TreeDiff type

This type cannot be printed. The following methods are defined.

  • .color_words([context: Integer]) -> Template: Format as a word-level diff with changes indicated only by color.
  • .git([context: Integer]) -> Template: Format as a Git diff.
  • .stat(width: Integer) -> Template: Format as a histogram of the changes.
  • .summary() -> Template: Format as a list of status code and path pairs.

Configuration

The default templates and aliases() are defined in the [templates] and [template-aliases] sections of the config respectively. The exact definitions can be seen in the cli/src/config/templates.toml file in jj's source tree.

New keywords and functions can be defined as aliases, by using any combination of the predefined keywords/functions and other aliases.

Alias functions can be overloaded by the number of parameters. However, builtin function will be shadowed by name, and can't co-exist with aliases.

For example:

[template-aliases]
'commit_change_ids' = '''
concat(
  format_field("Commit ID", commit_id),
  format_field("Change ID", commit_id),
)
'''
'format_field(key, value)' = 'key ++ ": " ++ value ++ "\n"'

Examples

Get short commit IDs of the working-copy parents:

jj log --no-graph -r @ -T 'parents.map(|c| c.commit_id().short()).join(",")'

Show machine-readable list of full commit and change IDs:

jj log --no-graph -T 'commit_id ++ " " ++ change_id ++ "\n"'
