Magit, an Emacs Mode for Git

25 May 2016

As I said, “I’m mad for Emacs”. Today I want to introduce a new Emacs mode – magit (you can think it as “magic git”).

Magit Status

Magit status window is that it plays nice with your window configuration when you open it, and when you close it with q. Almost all the actions you can carry out in Magit is done through a one-key system that opens up a “command console” window at the bottom, letting you further refine your command before you carry it out. This is a fantastically well-done interface and is probably the killer feature that makes Magit so great.
