> The CLI has nice syntax highlighting to show you the shortest valid prefix, so for example, right now I have something that looks like lzrvnkxl but the initial l is in purple, while the zrvnkxl is in grey. This means I can just use the l when referring to the change. That can be harder to demonstrate in a blog post, which can't know how to highlight this, and so often they have no highlighting.

This is such a simple UX feature that I have ended up using all the time after I switched to jj a few months back.
