Version 4.4.0 of package Magit has just been released in NonGNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Magit describes itself as: ============================ A Git porcelain inside Emacs ============================ More at https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/magit.html ## Summary: Magit is a text-based Git user interface that puts an unmatched focus on streamlining workflows. Commands are invoked using short mnemonic key sequences that take the cursor’s position in the highly actionable interface into account to provide context-sensitive behavior. With Magit you can do nearly everything that you can do when using Git on the command-line, but at greater speed and while taking advantage of advanced features that previously seemed too daunting to use on a daily basis. Many users will find that by using Magit they can become more effective Git user. ## Recent NEWS: # -*- mode: org -*- * v4.4.0 2025-09-09 - At least Emacs 28.1 is required now. Emacs 30.1 was released earlier this year, so Emacs "oldoldstable" is still supported. - Code for tracking a position within a file across versions and diffs, and the commands that build on that to allow jumping to the same location in another version or diff, are undergoing heavy refactoring and improvements. This is paying of technical dept and prepares for upcoming user-level improvements as well as for new features. Some changes in behavior already appear in this release, as described below. - For staged and unstaged changes, ~magit-diff-visit-file~ (~RET~) now always visits the blob actually corresponding to the line at point, as it already did for committed changes. Previously it failed to visit the index blob from an unstaged removed line when that file has staged changes; and it failed to visit the index blob from a staged added line. Visiting the file in the worktree is very useful, but, instead of ~RET~, I recommend using ~C-<return>~ (~magit-diff-visit-worktree-file~). The new option ~magit-diff-visit-prefer-worktree~ allows restoring the old behavior. See [[https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Visiting-Files-and-Blobs-from-a-Diff.html][Visiting Files and Blobs from a Diff]]. - "Blob navigation" is now aware of index blobs. It is possible to navigate between such blobs, and the HEAD blob or the file on disk, using the same key bindings used to time travel from one committed blob to another. See [[https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Minor-Mode-for-Buffers-Visiting-Blobs.html][Minor Mode for Buffers Visiting Blobs]] and [[https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Commands-for-Buffers-Visiting-Files.html][Commands for Buffers Visiting Files]]. - When quitting a blob-visiting buffer with ~q~, it is no longer killed, iff it is being displayed in an additional window. The behavior can be changed by binding ~q~ in ~magit-blob-mode-map~ to one of the commands ~magit-bury-or-kill-buffer~, ~magit-bury-buffer~, or ~magit-kill-this-buffer~. The former two are new commands. 731642756f - ~magit-status-here~ now places the cursor within the diff of unstaged changes, if the current line in a file-visiting buffer has unstaged changes. If it does not, then it falls back to going to the corresponding staged change. #4814 - Even though ~auto-revert-mode~ is enabled, if that has not yet kicked in and the user visits a file that needs reverting, they used to be asked to confirm the revert. efaf91d8af - ~magit-completing-read~ and ~magit-completing-read-multiple~ can now require non-empty input. If REQUIRE-MATCH is ~any~, then the user can exit with input that does not appear in the collection, but is not allowed to exit with zero input. #5422 - ~magit-completing-read-multiple~ now adds the default choice to the set of valid choices. 7167f70665 - ~magit-read-branch-or-commit~ can now exclude more than one possible choice from the set of valid choices. 10c366ed52 - Improved minibuffer input for worktree commands, including adding new option ~magit-read-worktree-directory-function~. - Section visibility indicators can now be displayed in the left margin. #5424 - References in the ~refs/pullreqs~ namespace are no longer offered as completion candidates. 87ddd8f7c4 - Improved font-lock in ~git-rebase-mode~. 3857b8bce9..9654f5e094 - Added new face ~magit-diff-conflict-heading-highlight~. 2e76ec9337 - Added new command ~magit-revision-jump~, a menu for use in ~magit-revision-mode~, bound to ~j~. acf71f7eb4 - ~magit-dired-jump~ now supports ~magit-repolist-mode~. 8c4a903886 - Fixed a regression ~magit--refresh-buffer-set-positions~, added in v4.3.7, which messed up the window-start. 406a3094a8 - ~magit-setup-buffer~ and ~magit-refresh-buffer~ take two new keyword arguments INITIAL-SECTION and SELECT-SECTION. Two arguments of ~magit-setup-buffer-internal~ are now keyword arguments. ... ...
