NAME
     jj-split - Split a revision in two

SYNOPSIS
     jj   split   [-i|--interactive]  [-R|--repository]  [--ignore-working-copy]
     [--tool]  [--no-integrate-operation]  [-r|--revision]  [--ignore-immutable]
     [-o|--onto]   [-A|--insert-after]	 [--at-operation]   [-B|--insert-before]
     [--debug]	[--color]  [-m|--message]  [--editor]	[--quiet]   [--no-pager]
     [-p|--parallel] [--config] [--config-file] [-h|--help] [FILESETS]

DESCRIPTION
     Split a revision in two

     Starts  a [diff editor] on the changes in the revision. Edit the right side
     of the diff until it has the content you want in the first commit. Once you
     close the editor, your revision will be split into two commits.

     [diff editor]:
	 https://docs.jj-vcs.dev/latest/config/#editing-diffs

     By default, the selected changes stay in the original commit, and	the  re-
     maining changes go into a new child commit:

     ```text  L 		L' |		     | K (split)   =>	 K" (re-
     maining) | 		| J		    K' (selected)
		       |
		       J ```

     With `--parallel/-p`, the two parts become sibling commits instead of  par-
     ent and child:

     ```text
		       L' L		   / \ |	       K'  |  (selected)
     K (split)	=>   |	 K" (remaining) |		 \ / J		       J
     ```

     With  `-o`,  `-A`,  or  `-B`, the selected changes are extracted into a new
     commit at the specified location,	while  the  remaining  changes	stay  in
     place:

     ```text  M 		 M'  |			| L		    L' |
     | K (split)   =>	  K'  (remaining,  stays  here)  |		    |  J
     J'
		       |
		       K" (selected, inserted before J with -B J) ```

     If  the  change  you  split had a description, you will be asked to enter a
     change description for each commit. If the change did not have  a	descrip-
     tion,  the  second commit will not get a description, and you will be asked
     for a description only for the first commit.

     Splitting an empty commit is not supported because the same effect  can  be
     achieved with `jj new`.

OPTIONS
     -i, --interactive
	    Interactively choose which parts to split

	    This is the default if no filesets are provided.

     --tool <NAME>
	    Specify diff editor to be used (implies --interactive)

     -r, --revision <REVSET> [default: @]
	    The revision to split

     -o, --onto <REVSETS>
	    The revision(s) to rebase the selected changes onto (can be repeated
	    to create a merge commit)

	    Extracts  the  selected changes into a new commit based on the given
	    revision(s). The remaining changes stay in the original commit's lo-
	    cation.

     -A, --insert-after <REVSETS>
	    The revision(s) to insert after (can be repeated to create	a  merge
	    commit)

	    Extracts  the  selected changes into a new commit inserted after the
	    given revision(s). The remaining changes stay in the  original  com-
	    mit's location.

     -B, --insert-before <REVSETS>
	    The  revision(s) to insert before (can be repeated to create a merge
	    commit)

	    Extracts the selected changes into a new commit inserted before  the
	    given  revision(s).  The remaining changes stay in the original com-
	    mit's location.

     -m, --message <MESSAGE>
	    The change description to use for the selected changes  (don't  open
	    editor)

	    Sets  the  description  for  the  revision	containing  the selected
	    changes. The other revision will keep its original	description,  if
	    any.

     --editor
	    Open an editor to edit the change description(s)

	    Forces an editor to open when using `--message` to allow the message
	    to be edited afterward.

     -p, --parallel
	    Split  the	revision into two parallel revisions instead of a parent
	    and child

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

     [FILESETS]
	    Files matching any of these filesets are put in the selected changes

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-work-
	    ing-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  opera-
	    tion.

	    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 `im-
	    mutable_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  opera-
	    tions 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 re-
	    based.

	    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)
