- hinkley 1y agoTFA does not mention that at all. I kinda feel like the downvotes are unwarranted.
- lanstin 1y agoTo emacs user, not knowing that magit is emacs is worth a down vote prima facie :) I share your horror for GUIs ineffectively hiding the version control reality; but then, despite being an emacs and casual magit user, I still mostly git add files one by one, having git diff the files one by one, and assembling the changed files into coherent groups.
- hinkley 1y agoI have a keyboard dance that feels like choreography or maybe, at this point, ritual prayer. There are definitely shortcuts I could take in some scenarios but walking the safe path even though it's a little longer is the sane response especially when you can type as fast as most of us and you've been using a bourne shell as long as I have. Or if I'm being more charitable, it's about staying outside the yellow tape lines on the factory floor. No exceptions.
- BrenBarn 1y agoIt is pretty weird that it doesn't mention it.
- jasonm23 1y agoIt's runable as a standalone https://github.com/maio/smagit https://github.com/maio/smagit there's a faithful conversion as edamagit for vs-code. It's way more casual than having to know Emacs.
