Given I've been on/off Spacemacs / Doom for years myself, I would definitely pay for a well-packaged isolated one-click-installable Magit as a separate git client.

#12If GUI is your thing, I recommend giving Sublime Merge a look. I absolutely love it. I've heard that there are similarities to Magit in the terms of capabilities, e.g. staging (or reverting) by line.

#13I want to know if it is a hard G as in Git, or soft G as in magic. Ok, soft G might be the best choice.
Git is literally an insult in much of the English speaking world. So hard g as in "maggot" would be consistent.

#14Magit is insanely ergonomic. Like how easy is it to selectively stage portions of files in the git CLI? In magit it is usually just a few keystrokes.
I wish magit-forge [0] had more features though - like I cannot create new labels from it.
Please consider donating [1] to the developer if it has made your life any easier.

#15If it's so great why are people not building it out of emacs :P
Edamagit exists for VSCode and is actually quite a faithful conversion. I would love more modes like that in VSCode that just use editor buffers to get work done instead of feeling the need to create lots of inconsistent custom UI.

I recently tried out spacemacs and doom on too different new computers but I just couldn’t make them work for me. Maybe if I was coming to emacs from VIM they’d make more sense. I’d recommend that if you want to do emacs from scratch it’s probably easier to just start Witt vanilla and build up your own config. The hardest part is the muscle memory but you’re going to have that with spacemacs/doom too and then you’ve all the noise of these environments to contend with on top of that.

Next to other posters, there's also LazyGit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit), and vimagit (https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit).
So yea, people are building it out of emacs!

#18I've been using tig for things like this. Are they related somehow? Tig is amazing :)

You can switch Spacemacs and Doom into Emacs-mode keybindings. Command key sequences become hidden behind a shortcut and modes are disabled. It relaxes the learning curve.

Also recommend lazygit.
I use it everyday and it's pretty awesome.
