Anyone using magit?


It was the killer app that got me hooked on Emacs (which I now use as my IDE and daily driver for almost everything except web browsing).

Every time I see tools like this I think "ah, the normies are reimplementing Magit".


I use Magit for everything, never the Git CLI. Rebasing is very easy to do, and so is cherrypicking, looking at the ref log, etc.

Never bothered learning the Git CLI since it's always seemed cumbersome compared to Magit. That is the other major advantage to Magit, the UI is discoverable, there is always a subwindow displaying all available commands and most of the commonly used flags. (Less commonly used flags can be displayed by adjusting the transient level.)


I do. It works so well I've almost taken it for granted.


Missed it so much in vim I started maintaining the neovim clone.


Yes. Only tool I've found that makes git usable.


I use it, it’s great.
