# jj absorb

> Split changes in the source revision and move each change to the closest mutable ancestor where the corresponding lines were modified last.
> Changes that have zero or multiple matching regions in ancestral revisions won't be moved.
> More information: <https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/cli-reference/#jj-absorb>.
