It's Magit! A Emacs mode for Git. ================================== Magit is an interface to Git for Emacs. Unlike Emacs's native [version control support][vc], Magit can take advantage of Git's native features without breaking compatibility with other systems. To get started see the [Magit User Manual][manual] or perhaps the [cheatsheet][cheatsheet] if you're in a hurry. There's also an excellent [Magit screencast][screencast] by Alex Vollmer which demonstrates some of the major features. Installing ---------- Download the latest tarball from [the github download page][download], then Magit can be installed with the popular recipe of: ./autogen.sh # If you got the sources directly from Git ./configure make install This will put magit.el into `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp`, where Emacs should be able to find it. Then add (require 'magit) to your `.emacs` file. Getting started --------------- To get started with Magit, open any file in a Git repository in Emacs and run `M-x magit-status`. Read the short help for magit-mode (`C-h m` in the Magit buffer), make some changes to your files, and try to commit them. Learning more ------------- The [Magit User Manual][manual] describes things with more words than the online help. You can read it in Emacs with `C-u C-h i magit.info`, or [on the web][manual]. If you have any questions, please use [the mailing list][google group] at Google Groups. Magit's website is currently hosted [on GitHub][website]. Development ----------- Magit was started by Marius Vollmer and is currently maintained by Phil Jackson. For a full list of contributors have a look at `magit.el` in the source distribution. Magit's canonical source repository is currently [hosted on GitHub][development].
