Since the page doesn't explain what it is you should be donating for:
> A Git Porcelain inside Emacs
> Magit is a complete text-based user interface to Git. It fills the glaring gap between the Git command-line interface and various GUIs, letting you perform trivial as well as elaborate version control tasks with just a couple of mnemonic key presses. Magit looks like a prettified version of what you get after running a few Git commands but in Magit every bit of visible information is also actionable to an extent that goes far beyond what any Git GUI provides and it takes care of automatically refreshing this output when it becomes outdated. In the background Magit just runs Git commands and if you wish you can see what exactly is being run, making it possible for you to learn the git command-line by using Magit.
The .vc domain was giving me investment vibes, I had no idea what to expect from this link, and was still confused after skimming the page to see if there's info anywhere. Not the best landing page.
- manx 4y agoI guess, the vc stands for version control here...
- kataklasm 4y agoIt's not a landing page, which us why it's doing a poor job at being one. This linked URL is the donate page, but if you go up one level to the site root you will see the text you quotednin your comment. I don't see whats wrong with that, since if you enter the donate page presumably you've been on the site root first. Of course, the concept of link aggregation here kind of screws that assumption but :shrug:.
