A Git Porcelain inside Emacs

  Magit is an interface to the version control system

  Git, implemented as an

  Emacs package.

  Magit aspires to be a complete Git porcelain.  While we cannot

  (yet) claim that Magit wraps and improves upon each and every Git

  command, it is complete enough to allow even experienced Git users

  to perform almost all of their daily version control tasks directly

  from within Emacs.  While many fine Git clients exist, only Magit

  and Git itself deserve to be called porcelains.







  Keeping its users this excited is

  

    a lot of work

  .

  If Magit makes you 
 more productive too,

  then please consider making a donation.





  Thank you! — Jonas Bernoulli

### Getting Started

If you are new to Magit, then either one of the following two

articles should help understanding how it differs from other Git

clients.

#### [Visual Magit walk-through](https://emacsair.me/2017/09/01/magit-walk-through)

If you are completely new to Magit, then this article is a good

visual introduction.

Almost everything that you see in Magit can be acted on by pressing

some key, but that's not obvious from just seeing how Magit looks.

The screenshots and accompanying text of this article explain how to

perform a variety of actions on Magit's output.

#### [Magit, the magical Git interface](https://emacsair.me/2017/09/01/the-magical-git-interface)

Magit differs significantly from other Git interfaces, and its

advantages are not immediately obvious simply from looking at a few

screenshots as presented in the preceding article.

This article discusses Magit's properties in somewhat more abstract

terms.

#### Video introductions

If you prefer [video](https://magit.vc/screencasts/) introductions,

head over to that page, where find a collection of such introductions

and other videos about Magit, by various creators.
