It's Magit! A Emacs mode for Git.
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
[github pages](http://philjackson.github.com/magit)
|
|
|
|
I started to write Magit to learn about Git and 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!
|
|
|
|
Magit is owned by Marius Vollmer and is currently maintained by Phil
|
|
Jackson. For a full list of contributors have a look at magit.el.

|
Installing
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Download the latest tarball from
|
|
[the github download page](http://github.com/philjackson/magit/downloads).
|
|
|
|
And 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 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 in Emacs with 'C-u C-h i magit.info' for
|
|
example, or on the web at
|
|
|
|
[the manual](http://philjackson.github.com/magit/magit.html)
