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.

# -*- 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.

* 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~.
