Version 4.3.0 of package Magit has just been released in NonGNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Magit describes itself as: ============================ A Git porcelain inside Emacs ============================ More at https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/magit.html ## Summary: Magit is a text-based Git user interface that puts an unmatched focus on streamlining workflows. Commands are invoked using short mnemonic key sequences that take the cursor’s position in the highly actionable interface into account to provide context-sensitive behavior. With Magit you can do nearly everything that you can do when using Git on the command-line, but at greater speed and while taking advantage of advanced features that previously seemed too daunting to use on a daily basis. Many users will find that by using Magit they can become more effective Git user. ## Recent NEWS: # -*- mode: org -*- * v4.3.0 2025-02-04 - Added new option ~magit-refs-show-branch-descriptions~. 42ed6c1966 - When a stash cannot be applied using the trivial method, the user is offered some fallback methods. The presentation of those has been improved. #5253 a08b4dd513 - Added new hook options ~magit-revision-wash-message-hook~ and ~magit-log-wash-summary-hook~, and populate them with new and existing highlighting functions, making it easier to remove default highlighting and to add custom highlighting. This also increases consistency between how commit summaries are shown in logs and when displaying complete commit messages. f54fce0ecc..b86fe009e2 - ~amend!~ markers are now highlighted like ~fixup!~ and ~squash!~ markers. #5261 - ~magit-commit-create~ no longer amends to HEAD when called with a prefix argument. The ~magit-commit~ menu offers four amend commands. That should be good enough. 5e60aa72e5 - ~magit-commit~ no longer features the obscure ~magit-commit-reshelve~ by default, but it can quickly be reinstated, using the level mechanism. 20eb323b47 - Added new commands ~magit-commit-alter~ and ~magit-commit-revise~, completing the already extensive set of "fixup" commands. #5261 - Improved commit menu, documentation and implementation details. #5261 - The branch at point is detected in more contexts now, i.e., when there is not actually a branch at point, but one can unambigiously be derived from the thing at point. 4876f1921e - Reworked ~magit-process-password-prompt-regexps~ to be more permissive and better structured. Hopefully that means we have to extend it less frequently going forward, when users run into new prompts. #5288 - Speed up listing untracked files in the status buffer, simplify how the list is configured, and give up on optionally using a tree. #5284 - Argument ~--signoff~ is now available in all menus that create commits. However, it is no longer shown in any menu by default. See the end of [[https://magit.vc/manual/transient/Enabling-and-Disabling-Suffixes.html][Enabling and Disabling Suffixes]] to learn how to enable it in all menus at once in a single action. #5297 - Began using the ~##~ macro from the ~llama~ package. 0a64982100 - Stopped depending on the ~dash~ package. e40e8f1994 Bug fixes: - When applying a stash, it was not always discovered when the trivial method was unsuccessful, and so the user was not offered the use of a fallback method. #5253 929eb4dca5 - ~git-commit.el~ did not require ~magit-process~, which was only a problem when it is loaded without also loading the rest of Magit. #5280. - The use of an external diff drivers was not prevented in some places. #5282 - ~magit-blame-maybe-show-message~ did not protect against interpreting % in commit messages as %-specs. d0e795f423 - Parts of commit message headers lost the intended background color. 46c3d8b0ad - The confirmation prompt of ~magit-worktree-delete~ failed to name the affected worktree. #5286 - The wrong suffix color was used for ~magit-commit-absorb~ and ~magit-commit-autofixup~. bfadd41079 - ~magit-stash-index~ did not use ~magit-stash-read-message-function~. #5295 - Fixed an error that occured when creating ~magit-hunk-section-map~ and the user has disabled ~smerge-command-prefix~. The same bug exists in Emacs since 29.1, so this will only help users stuck on Emacs 28. #5300 - When the value of a diff or log menu was being initialized from the arguments in the current buffer and the diff/log was already limited to a set of files, then all other arguments were discarded. #5304 * v4.2.0 2025-01-01 - At least Git 2.25.0 is required now. 033a0c0cdc - At least Emacs 27.1 is required now. c1a86066e8 - Added new command ~magit-toggle-profiling~. f637dd1877 - Added new command ~magit-toggle-subprocess-record~. ec1f403af1 Bug fixes: - Fixed a regression in ~transient-init-value~. 5b4c4aea1b ... ...
