I don't think a lot of those things are worth learning. I would never consider using git from anything other than the shell or email from anything but my favorite client. It's all personal, of course.

.. except for auto-completion, who doesn't like that? :-/
Try the 'dabbrev-expand' command for auto-complete in any mode (naive match on other words in the buffer): M-/
Then check out 'C-h a expand' and 'C-h a complete' (apropos searches for commands related to code completion).
- rcthompson 15y agoDon't dismiss the value of Git integration in your editor until you've tried Magit in Emacs. I hardly ever need to run git at the command line anymore. I particularly like how easy it is to stage individual hunks in Magit.

- __david__ 15y agoAlso check out http://porkrind.org/commit-patch http://porkrind.org/commit-patch (with commit-patch-buffer.el) for an alternative to magit's hunk staging which is also works with a bunch of other VCSs (it's heavenly when you're stuck with something old like CVS or SVN).
- timf 15y agoNow you've got me interested, wonder how something improves "git add -p". Will check it out.
