FR: Reseting bookmarks

[maralorn]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes I accidentally rebase a bookmark which I have already pushed to a remote or I have concurrent local and remote modifications. Then to cleanup as a first step I want to reset the bookmark to where it is on the remote and then clean up the repo from there.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have a "reset" option in the bookmarks menu which offers to do "jj move my-bookmark --to my-bookmark@my-remote" for bookmarks for which it makes sense.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently I can do one of two things:

1. Change the revset to find "my-bookmark@origin" then do "bm" to move the bookmark back there.
2. I figure out the above command and execute it manually.
3. Ah, I think forgeting and then tracking a bookmark again is also a solution.

Why current features fail to cover this request

I was trying to figure out a local keybinding to automatically do the jj move. However for that I need to figure the name of the bookmark and the remote from the change_id. But I think the bookmarks submenu already has the complete information.

Additional context

Just an idea, I have no problem with this not getting integrate or being low priority. However my impression is, that this would only be a few lines of code.

Hey, thanks for the recommendation.

The bookmark menu items are modelled around what the jj bookmark can do. Reset is not one of them. I would like to keep the core functionality as slim and as close as possible to what the jj CLI offers. I also think the core should have adequate configurability to make such use cases possible. We are not there yet.

I’ll come back to this once I have something to share. I’m not promising anything, but I’m seeing an increase in convenience‑feature requests, and they’re helping me design extension points that can enable such use cases.
