> you're always one ! ! press away from entering a manual command Huh, I didn't know this. I'll probably live in Magit from now on.

Also useful: any time you find yourself wondering what did Magit just do, press $ to display raw output from git commands (lists the commands issued and their return codes, TAB expands them to full output).

I don't do it that often but I felt compelled to tip magit maintainer because it's just a beautiful and important piece of my emacs life.

Magit had a Kickstarter recently (yes, an Emacs mode on Kickstarter; I was shocked too), to raise funds for continued development. I dropped some cash there; after all, it helps me quite a lot to earn my paycheck.

I use two-letter bash aliases for all my most commonly used git commands. git status git diff git diff --cached git add -A git commit -m Hello git push Is instead just st dp di aa cm Hello pu Additionally I also have le For git shortlog -s -e which I don’t use very often but often enough that having an alias for it still makes sense

I edited my inputrc to do a prefix search. So I just ‘git x’ where x is some letter, pressing up usually finds me what I want. It still surprises me we don’t have good bash autocomplete. Not sure how hard it is to create a shell but i’d do it in a heartbeat.
