+# Jujutsu
+
+You can use with a repository that has been cloned using [jujutsu](https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/latest/).
+
+## Colocated
+
+If the repository was cloned by `jujutsu` using the `--colocate` option, then all you need to do is make sure that
+you have checked out your mainline branch using git.
+If you don't, then you will likely see an error about an unborn branch.
+
+## Non-colocated
+
+If the repository was cloned by `jujutsu` but *not* using the `--colocate` option,
+then the Git repository, normally the `.git` directory, is located in `.jj/repo/store/git`
+
+Create a file in the root of your repository that tells Git, and `git-cliff` where the Git repository is
+and update the `HEAD` to point to your main remote branch:
+
+e.g.:
+
+```bash
+jj git clone https://github.com/orhun/menyoki
+cd menyoki
+echo "gitdir: .jj/repo/store/git" > .git
+echo "ref: refs/remotes/origin/master" > .jj/repo/store/git/HEAD
+```
+
+N.B.: Replace `master` in the last command with the name of your main remote branch. e.g. `main`, `trunk`, etc.
+
