#+TITLE: magit.sh
Run a standalone Magit editor! To improve startup speed, this script ignores the user's Emacs init files and only loads the Emacs libraries Magit requires.
Note that this does /not/ install any packages. Magit and its dependencies must already be installed in =~/.emacs.d=.
* Using a separate Emacs configuration
If you would prefer to run Magit separately from your main Emacs /configuration/, you could do so easily using [[https://github.com/alphapapa/emacs-sandbox.sh][emacs-sandbox.sh]]. For example:
+ Make a directory in which to install Magit and its dependencies, e.g. =~/.local/lib/emacs-sandbox/magit=.
+ Run this command to install Magit and its dependencies into that directory:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
emacs-sandbox.sh -d ~/.local/lib/emacs-sandbox/magit -i magit -- -f kill-emacs
#+END_SRC
+ Use this command to run Emacs in that config and call =magit-status= directly:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
emacs-sandbox.sh --no-refresh-packages -d ~/.local/lib/emacs-sandbox/magit -- -f magit-status -f delete-other-windows
#+END_SRC
You could put that command into a =magit.sh= script, or use it as a shell alias.
