magit

I don't know if git has concept of revision. I'd like to diff current working copy with older version of it(not neccesarily a last commit) Would be great if it could be done inside emacs. I've no idea about doing this inside emacs, but: git diff rev1..rev2 will do what you want for the whole repository. You can then add to that: git diff rev1>..rev2 path path can be an absolute path to a file, or a path to a directory, so you can diff subtrees. If you're looking to diff the working copy - just specify revision 1: git diff rev1 path The revision codes can be special names, e.g. HEAD^..HEAD

I am attempting to push to a GitHub repository using Magit on Emacs 24.3.1. Note, I'm on a Windows box. I have staged and committed changes to a file and M-x magit-status reflects only untracked files that are resident to my clone of the repo. To push, from the Magit status buffer, I do P P and the message I get is: Running c:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin/git.exe push -v origin master It seems to hang here and no further activity is evident. When I go to push from the command line, everything seems fine and I am prompted for my GitHub username: PS H:\.emacs.d> git push -v origin master Pushing

Is there a nice way to call git mv on a file from within magit? I know it's possible to run any git command with : , but this won't autocomplete filenames. I'm not sure offhand if there's a direct way, but... Given that a mv is the same thing as a rm plus an add , you can just rename the file normally (e.g. in dired), and then stage both of the consequent changes -- a deleted file and a new file. Git should figure it out. Edit: M-x vc-rename-file ? For reference at least in current verion of magit there is magit-file-rename which can be invoked by R . I use dired for this. C-x d when the file

I'm running the official windows binary of emacs 24.1.1 with magit. When I commit a file, the username and email shown on the log are ripped from my account and machine name, rather than using the values set in either the global git config or the local settings for this repro. From git bash and dos, I can ask git for user.email and user.name and get the local repro settings. magit and vc-git's diff mode also seems to be ignoring my autocrlf settings, so this may be an emacs-wide problem, not specific to magit. C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd is is on emac's exec-path . How can I either instruct

How can I get the diff between two commits of the same file using magit ? Directly form git one can do this . But I don't know how to do it from within magit . From magit-status it seems that d and D returns the diff of the whole repository. This is very problematic for me as the repository is huge and it causes magit (and in turn emacs ) to become unresponsive. Is there a way to ask magit to restrict the search to only one file from the repository? I also tried, in the magit-status buffer to do : diff $start_commit..$end_commit -- path/to/file . This works, but the output is a simple buffer

I'm specifically interested in pull requests, editing issues and tying them to commits, and other things I generally have to use hub on the command line for. However, I've started using magit and really like the keybindings and general interface---I'd like to stay in emacs for this part, too, rather than needing to keep an extra shell open for pull requests, issues, etc. The packages that might add the most github functionality to magit that I could find are: Magithub magit-gh-pulls gh.el Can anyone, possibly involved with these projects, recommend how they'd compare and what might be best for
