Status: Available from melpa -- [Install] Archive: melpa Version: 20190202.1535 Requires: emacs-25.1, async-20180527, dash-20180910, git-commit-20181104, magit-popup-20181003, with-editor-20181103 Summary: A Git porcelain inside Emacs. Magit is an interface to the version control system Git, implemented as an Emacs package. Magit aspires to be a complete Git porcelain. While we cannot (yet) claim, that Magit wraps and improves upon each and every Git command, it is complete enough to allow even experienced Git users to perform almost all of their daily version control tasks directly from within Emacs. While many fine Git clients exist, only Magit and Git itself deserve to be called porcelains. > A question: several other packages were mention > in the Magit description. Are these installed > automatically when using the melpa interface > in emacs ? You mean the "Requires:" stuff? Yes, they are installed when you install Magit (hit the install button). That is a big part of the whole idea with a package manager and a software repository. Every package says I rely on A, B, and C, then A, B, and C say they rely on etc etc and hopefully at some point there is no more relying and the installation is complete and everything put into place in good order. In theory, it is very simple :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
