My preferred workflow is to start with a new change, pick the changes I want, then use jj commit to describe the change and create a new empty one on top. Feels very similar to my old git workflow.
If I end up with multiple features or abstractions in one change (equivalent to the “dirty repo”), jj split works very well as an alternative to the git add/git commit/repeat workflow tidying up one’s working copy.
