target a single revision other than the current one.
```sh
jj-cz @- xs develop
jj-cz @- xs develop # assuming the revision xs and the bookmark develop exist
```
No explicit revision is simply the equivalent of `jj-cz @`, like
`jj desc`.
If you want to create a new revision after calling `jj-cz` on a single
revision, you can use the `-n` or `--new` flag.
```sh
jj-cz -n # equivalent of `jj-cz && jj new`
jj-cz xs -n # equivalent of `jj-cz xs && jj new`
jj-cz -n xs # equivalent of `jj-cz xs && jj new`
```
You cannot, however, call `jj-cz` on multiple revisions with the `--new` flag active.

## Tips and questions
### Running `jj cz` instead of `jj-cz`
I do not actually use `jj-cz`, but `jj cz`. I just find it more
natural to treat it as its own jj subcommand. To achieve that, you can
simply add an alias to your jujutsu configuration.
```toml
[aliases]
cz = ["utils", "exec", "--", "jj-cz"]
```
### `$EDITOR` and editing the revisions body message
`jj-cz` relies on your `$EDITOR` variable to open a temporary file in
which youll write the body of your commit. This body does not include
some footers `jj-cz` may include by itself, such as the breaking
change footer.
In some cases, you may not notice a new editor open. In this case,
check whether you already have an editor open, the file might be
there. In my case, if I already have an open Emacsclient, it will open
there.
