This screencast demonstrates how to merge commits using jj-fzf. It begins by selecting a revision to base the merge commit on, then starts the merge dialog with Alt+M. To create the merge commit, jj-fzf suggests a merge commit message and opens the text editor before creating the commit. More commits can also be merged which is demonstrated at the end.
