Magit Status
SPC g s runs Magit status, showing the status of the local git repository and any attached remote repositories. Magit status is a full Git client and can run any Git commands.
? shows all the command menus available for committing
g r to refresh Magit status buffer
Navigating Magit Status buffer
j and k to move to next / previous line
[ and ] jumps to next / previous section at the current level
TAB to expand a section
Using Magit status directly
If you run git status from a file that is not currently in a git project, magit will prompt you to create a git project, allowing you to select the root of the project directory
- confirm you want to create a git repository
- specify where to create the repository, the root directory for the git repository
Create new project with magit-repository-directories configured
If magit-repository-directories is configured with directories, then a helm pop-up menu will list the Git repositories within those directories rather than prompting to create a new repository. Type . as the selection to create a new repository with the current project.
Magit Dispatch
SPC g m calls magit-dispatch which opens a transient menu with all the Magit commands found in Magit Status buffer. Git commands can be run without the need of the Magit status buffer.
