    Obligatory mention of lazygit for those who prefer vi and its descendants.

    No, I’m not making any claim regarding which is better. Hold your cards and letters. In many other universes, I’m a daily user of magit.

      Lazygit is amazing. I once had to roll back a feature before a deployment that was spread over 25 commits made during a 2 month period. With lazygit it was easy, with the cli it would have been a real pita. For everything else I pretty much just use the cli with tig and the github-cli.

    Magit is one of Emac’s many superpowers.

    I fact that most if not all the modern git client/porcelaines are all obviously inspired or even clones of magit is telling, tbh. It’s an excellent piece of software and the daily driver of many, me included

    Magit is incredible! It’s a thin layer over git commands but with a nice discoverable UI. Even if I’m using a different tool to write the code I’ll still use Magit for the repo.

    I started using seriously emacs because of Magit. Such a great package that let you do complicated operations without effort.
