I’d heard it was worth it even if you don’t use eMacs. Spend half a day trying to figure out how to install and just gave up.

- noelwelsh 3y agoWhat I do is: 1. Install Emacs 2. Install Doom (git clone + run a command): https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs 3. space g g to invoke magit
- dima55 3y agoYou "apt install emacs elpa-magit". Your OS should respect you enough to make it this simple.
- weaksauce 3y agoIt is worth it imo. there is a caveat that you will have to learn a little bit about emacs to effectively use it if you accidentally do something that throws you into a buffer(file). you need to be able to navigate and delete buffers and frames. if you know vim bindings and install doom emacs it helps a bit too since emacs commands are a bit inscrutable and hard to configure well without it. i don't use emacs as a daily driver anymore but i solely use it for my git stuff.
