Merging Commits

This screencast demonstrates how to merge commits using the jj-fzf command-line tool. It begins by selecting a revision to base the merge commit on, then starts the merge dialog with Alt+M. For merging exactly 2 commits, jj-fzf suggests a merge commit message and opens the text editor before creating the commit. More commits can also be merged, and in such cases, Ctrl+D can be used to describe the merge commit afterward.
