+Bookmarks are named pointers to revisions (just like branches are in Git). You
 can move them without affecting the target revision's identity. Bookmarks
 automatically move when revisions are rewritten (e.g. by `jj rebase`). You can
 pass a bookmark's name to commands that want a revision as argument. For example,
-`jj new main` will create a new revision on top of the "main" bookmark. Use
-`jj bookmark list` to list bookmarks and `jj bookmark` to create, move, or delete

+Jujutsu maps its bookmarks to Git branches when interacting with Git repos. For
