It's magit! Another Emacs mode for git.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I wrote magit while learning about git and trying to figure out how I
|
||
|
|
would be using git in a 'natural' way. Magit will grow and hopefully
|
||
|
|
become more coherent as I learn more about git and good ways to use
|
||
|
|
it. Feedback is welcome!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Installing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Magit is in such an early stage that there is no support for
|
||
|
|
automatically installing it. To use magit without installing it, just
|
||
|
|
load magit.el into Emacs, in whatever way is most convenient for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, you could just add
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(load ".../magit.el")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to your ".emacs" file. You can load it into your running Emacs with
|
||
|
|
'M-x load-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 online help of 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 describes things with more words than the online
|
||
|
|
help. You can read it with
