Full description
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.

News
# -*- mode: org -*- * v4.7.1 2026-09-01 - In repository listings the home directory is now used as ~default-directory~. 874781fe - Added ~--merge~ to ~magit-branch~ menu. 874781fe - In Dired buffers ~magit-read-repository~ now defaults to the repository at point. 1b50adfc - ~magit-gitdir~ now supports returning the common Git directory. #5614 - Added ~--find-copies-harder~ to diff menus because ~-C~ often doesn't do anything if the former isn't used as well. Both arguments are hidden by default now. #5629 Bugfixes: - ~magit-generate-changelog~ failed inside a worktree that specifies the path to the Git directory using a relative path. #5582 - ~magit-local-branch-p~ recently started using ~--branches~ but that was only added in Git v2.46.0. #5625 - ~magit-gitignore-in-gitdir~ did not account for linked worktrees. #5614 - ~magit-xref-restore~ needlessy called ~magit-refresh-buffer~. ~magit-setup-buffer-internal~ already takes care of that. #5626 - ~magit--blob-normal-mode~ bound ~after-change-major-mode-hook~ to suppress certain hook functions, which prevented additions to that hook from persisting, which can happen due to lazy loading. #5627 - ~--find-copies-harder~ is no longer added if ~-C~ is used, because the former renders the latter ineffective. #5629 - ~magit-toplevel~ did not work inside the Git directory of a submodule. e47eb827 * v4.7.0 2026-08-01 - If the region marks a single commit, ~magit-patch-create~ now creates a patch for that, instead of prompting. Previously that was only done if multiple commit were marked. #4734 - When reading a value for ~git diff~'s ~--find-renames~ or ~--find-copies~ argument, the similarity index can now be specified as a percentage or as a fraction. The input now has to exactly match the value, as used by Git; e.g., "20%" or "05". The latter is interpreted as the fraction 0.05. #4708 - Added optional DIRECTORY argument to ~magit-status-quick~, intended for use in third-party repository switchers. #4636 - Added new command ~magit-log-reflog~, which shows the log for all objects mentioned in all reflogs. #4748 - When ~gpg.format~ specifies a format other than openpgp, the menu argument ~--gpg-sign~ now acts as a boolean toggle. Previously it always wanted to read an openpgp key, making it impossible to toggle ssh or x509 signing from the menu. The used format is now shown in the menu. #5046 - Added ~--reject~ to ~magit-am~ menu. #5148 - Added Git v2.55's new ~--graph-lane-limit~ to log menus. It is hidden by default and not available when using an older Git. #5088 - ~magit-file-untrack~, ~magit-file-rename~, ~magit-file-delete~ and ~magit-do-async-shell-command~ can now act on directories. #5247 - ~magit-process-kill~ now first tries to interrupt the process. If that fails, a second invocation instead kills it. #5086 - Added help text for the ~Filter!~ status section. #5121 - By default, submodules with untracked content are now also listed in the status of the super-repository. #5448 - Added ~--redit-message~ to the ~magit-commit~ menu. That argument and ~--reuse-message~ now usually default to the commit at point, but when invoked with a prefix argument, the user can instead select the commit from a log. #5602 - Added new option ~magit-submodule-list-predicate~ and taught ~magit-submodule-list~ to support unpopulated modules. #5077 - When ~magit-bisect-start~ and ~magit-bisect-run~ are invoked with the region marking a range of consecutive commit, the commits at the ends are used as the good and bad commits. #5049 - ~magit-branch-checkout~ now always passes the commit, which is to be checked out, to the function used to read the worktree directory from the user. Previously this was only done for local branches. #5502 - Added new command ~magit-checkout-remote-ref~. #5410 - ~magit-project-status~ is no longer added to ~project-switch-commands~. ... ...
