Install & setup

VisualJJ works out of the box. You don't need to install JJ separately.

Install from VS Code Marketplace

  2. Go to Extensions (Cmd+Shift+X / Ctrl+Shift+X)
  3. Search for "visualjj"
  4. Click Install

For manual installation or specific versions, download the VSIX from visualjj.com/beta.

Open VisualJJ

  1. Open a folder containing a Git repository
  2. Click the VisualJJ icon in the Activity Bar

On first run, VisualJJ may ask you to confirm name and email to set as author of changes.
