Edit changes in the current revision with a diff editor:

jj diffedit

Edit changes in a given revision:

jj diffedit {{[-r|--revision]}} {{revset}}

Edit changes comparing a "from" revision to a "to" revision:

jj diffedit {{[-f|--from]}} {{from_revset}} {{[-t|--to]}} {{to_revset}}

Edit only specific paths (unmatched paths remain unchanged):

jj diffedit {{filesets}}

Use a specific diff editor:

jj diffedit --tool {{name}}

Preserve content instead of diff when rebasing descendants:

jj diffedit --restore-descendants
