NAME
jj-prev - Change the working copy revision relative to the parent revision

SYNOPSIS
jj prev [-e|--edit] [-R|--repository] [--ignore-working-copy] [-n|--no-edit] [--conflict] [--no-integrate-operation] [--ignore-immutable] [--at-operation] [--debug] [--color] [--quiet] [--no-pager] [--config] [--config-file] [-h|--help] [OFFSET]

DESCRIPTION
Change the working copy revision relative to the parent revision

The command creates a new empty working copy revision that is the child of an ancestor `offset` revisions behind the parent of the current working copy.

For example, when the offset is 1:

```text D @ D |/ | A => A @ | |/ B B ```

If `--edit` is passed, the working copy revision is changed to the parent of the current working copy revision.

```text D @ D |/ | C => @ | | B B | | A A ```

OPTIONS

-e, --edit
    Edit the parent directly, instead of moving the working-copy commit Takes precedence over config in `ui.movement.edit`; i.e. will negate `ui.movement.edit = false`

-n, --no-edit
    The inverse of `--edit` Takes precedence over config in `ui.movement.edit`; i.e. will negate `ui.movement.edit = true`

--conflict
    Jump to the previous conflicted ancestor

-h, --help
    Print help (see a summary with '-h')

[OFFSET] [default: 1]
    How many revisions to move backward. Moves to the parent by default

GLOBAL OPTIONS

-R, --repository <REPOSITORY>
    Path to repository to operate on By default, Jujutsu searches for the closest .jj/ directory in an ancestor of the current working directory.

--ignore-working-copy
    Don't snapshot the working copy, and don't update it By default, Jujutsu snapshots the working copy at the beginning of every command. The working copy is also updated at the end of the command, if the command modified the working-copy commit (`@`). If you want to avoid snapshotting the working copy and instead see a possibly stale working-copy commit, you can use `--ignore-working-copy`. This may be useful e.g. in a command prompt, especially if you have another process that commits the working copy. Loading the repository at a specific operation with `--at-operation` implies `--ignore-working-copy`.

--no-integrate-operation
    Run the command as usual but don't integrate any operations When this option is given, the operations will still be created as usual but they will not be integrated to the operation log. The working copy will also not be updated. The command will print the resulting operation ID. You can pass that to e.g. `jj --at-op` to inspect the resulting repo state, or you can pass it to `jj op restore` to restore the repo to that state. You can also pass the ID to `jj op integrate` to integrate the operation. Note that this does *not* prevent side effects outside the repo. For example, `jj git push --no-integrate-operation` will still perform the push.

--ignore-immutable
    Allow rewriting immutable commits By default, Jujutsu prevents rewriting commits in the configured set of immutable commits. This option disables that check and lets you rewrite any commit but the root commit. This option only affects the check. It does not affect the `immutable_heads()` revset or the `immutable` template keyword.

--at-operation <AT_OPERATION>
    Operation to load the repo at Operation to load the repo at. By default, Jujutsu loads the repo at the most recent operation, or at the merge of the divergent operations if any. You can use `--at-op=<operation ID>` to see what the repo looked like at an earlier operation. For example `jj --at-op=<operation ID> st` will show you what `jj st` would have shown you when the given operation had just finished. `--at-op=@` is pretty much the same as the default except that divergent operations will never be merged. Use `jj op log` to find the operation ID you want. Any unambiguous prefix of the operation ID is enough. When loading the repo at an earlier operation, the working copy will be ignored, as if `--ignore-working-copy` had been specified. It is possible to run mutating commands when loading the repo at an earlier operation. Doing that is equivalent to having run concurrent commands starting at the earlier operation. There's rarely a reason to do that, but it is possible.

--debug
    Enable debug logging

--color <WHEN>
    When to colorize output
    Possible values:

    •   always

    •   never

    •   debug

    •   auto

--quiet
    Silence non-primary command output For example, `jj file list` will still list files, but it won't tell you if the working copy was snapshotted or if descendants were rebased. Warnings and errors will still be printed.

--no-pager
    Disable the pager

--config <NAME=VALUE>
    Additional configuration options (can be repeated) The name should be specified as TOML dotted keys. The value should be specified as a TOML expression. If string value isn't enclosed by any TOML constructs (such as array notation), quotes can be omitted.

--config-file <PATH>
    Additional configuration files (can be repeated)
