- aaronbrethorst 11y agoA name that doesn't sound identical to "maggot," I guess. I've always wondered what the creators were thinking when they chose that name.
- gknoy 11y agoIt seems a pretty obvious portmanteau of magic + git. I always said it with a different rhythm: "ma-git" rather than "mag-it", so that might also be a factor.
- jwdunne 11y agoI always pronounced the G softly as in 'magic' so it took a while for the criticism to register. Gonna be honest, I like magit with a hard G, maggots 'n all.
- ta0967 11y agomaybe they were thinking of a humorless git.
- lomnakkus 11y agoYeah, magit really is incredibly quick and convenient. I often go so far as to have an emacs session open "on the side" just for magit, even if I'm using some sort of IDE. I'd even go so far as to say that it might even be worth learning (just enough) emacs for! It would be incredible to have something with magit-like efficiency that could start up in an instant (unlike emacs). I'm aware of "tig", but it seems rather limited, unfortunately.
