Magit is definitely one of the best addons for Emacs.

Nice to see Forge getting some attention. One less reason to ever leave Emacs is always welcome.

Magit is really one of the best git interface there is. I'm often coming back to it.

I heard lots of praise to Magit. Is there a way to use it like a standalone git client? Like tig, lazygit, etc.

I haven't tried very hard yet, but magic has been fairly unintuitive for me. Perhaps it's just that I've been using git for so long.

There have been several times that I tried something with magit, and messed things up enough that I just dropped into a shell and did everything with the git command line

Emacs is too laggy for me as my main editor.

But Magit is so good that I start emacs up just to use it as my Git interface if I can't get by just with the CLI.

Sadly there is no Vim plugin that is competitive. There is vimagit [1], but it's not on par.

> Too laggy

What’s your setup like? I’ve experienced some lagging from time to time—almost always because I turned on some package I didn’t need. My thirst for responsiveness has won out and now it’s nice and snappy.

I’m personally not running the native-comp branch, but I hear lots of people say it’s a game changer. Native-comp recently got merged to master, so when Emacs 28 ships it should be available to everyone!

Do you remember what you tried?

Yours has been literally the first negative comment out of hundreds of comments I've read about magit. It'd be interesting to learn what didn't work for you and why.

You could just alias this in your shell:

    alias magit='emacs -nw --eval "(magit-status)"'
