If I really wanted that, I could create an alias like

  alias.save="!git add -A; git commit -m"
And then use

  $ git save "made changes"

You could. That's not the point. I suggesting that if you want to try jj, try it based on its affordances, not by comparing it to how you'd do it differently with git.

Most of the tutorials start with git and try to teach you how to change your thinking. I think the project would find many more fans if it didn't make such a big deal about being kinda like git.
