Any recommendation for a good tutorial or introduction article about magit
i use sourcetree, and i like it a lot, but with all the positive talk about magit, i need to try it
i now only use emacs for org-mode and this mode is also by far the best personal todo list i used (i.e. if you dont need any social, sharing features found in web todos, org-mode is the best there is) .. so i know emacs can be very good

- taeric 9y agoI use eshell and tramp so that all my dev work is from in Emacs. It also meant that git was kinda ugly in the eshell, so that made the change to always use magit kind of easy. In general, things just work as expected. Bind "C-x g" (or whatever) to open the status window, and "s" will stage changes. "c" will bring up a window asking if you want to commit. "k" will kill whatever the point is at. Tab will expand changes, and you can highlight then with a region to stage just part. (Or kill to discard part.). At any time "h" provides a ton of help.
