Use magit to manage git in Emacs

Many tools support managing git in Emacs. The magit project on GitHub is very active, so I chose it.

Here is the official documentation: http://magit.github.com/magit/magit.html

Download the latest version: https://github.com/magit/magit/downloads from here

Decompress:

 
Tar zxvf magit-1.1.1.tar.gz
 

After entering the directory, run:

 
Make & sudo make install
 

The installation script creates and places the file in the following directory:

/Usr/local/share/Emacs/Site-lisp

Then add

(Require 'magit)
 

To ~ /. Emacs file

Restart Emacs.

Try it now. Open a file of the GIT project, such as my X file.

Run magit-status. The displayed information in the right window is as follows:

Remote: Master @ origin (SSH: // csfreebird@10.112.18.189: 29418/appengine. Git) Local: Master ~ /Work/189/appengine/head: d441c7e merge branch 'master' of SSH: // 10.112.18.189: 29418/appengine
 

Very clear.

In this window, type C-H m to view magit help information.
