macsAirOn the occasion of the Kickstarter campaign, I have written the following articles.
If you are completely new to Magit, then this article is a good visual introduction.
Almost everything that you see in Magit can be acted on by pressing some key, but that’s not obvious from just seeing how Magit looks. The screenshots and accompanying text of this article explain how to perform a variety of actions on Magit’s output.
Magit, the magical Git interface
Magit differs significantly from other Git interfaces, and its advantages are not immediately obvious simply from looking at a few screenshots as presented in the preceding article.
This article discusses Magit’s properties in somewhat more abstract terms.
Magit for users of other editors
Unfortunately, most potential users are not even aware of Magit. Others might be aware of its existence but would not consider giving it a try because it is implemented as an extension to the Emacs text editor, and that’s not what they are using.
This article discusses why Magit can be an excellent Git interface even if you don’t use Emacs for editing purposes and gives a preview of how I intend to make Magit more accessible to non-Emacs users.
Visit Magit’s homepage for additional resources, including screencasts, blog posts, user testimonals, and the manual.
