This is magit.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.13 from magit.texi.
Magit is an interface to the version control system Git, implemented as
an Emacs package.
Unlike Emacs's native Version Control package which strives to
provide a unified interface to various version control systems, Magit
only supports Git and can therefor better take advantage of its native
features.
You are looking at the manual for the `1.4.0' release.
Magit supports GNU Emacs 23.2 or later; 24.1 or later is recommended.
Magit supports Git 1.7.2.5 or later; 1.8.2 or later is recommended.
When something breaks please see the curated list of known issues
(https://github.com/magit/magit/wiki/Known-Issues) and the FAQ
(https://github.com/magit/magit/wiki/FAQ). If that doesn't help check
the list of all open issues issues
(https://github.com/magit/magit/issues).

1 Introduction
**************
With Magit, you can inspect and modify your Git repositories with
Emacs. You can review and commit the changes you have made to the
tracked files, for example, and you can browse the history of past
changes. There is support for cherry picking, reverting, merging,
rebasing, and other common Git operations.
Magit is not a complete interface to Git; it just aims to make the
most common Git operations convenient. Thus, Magit will likely not
save you from learning Git itself.
This manual provides a tour of many Magit features. It isn't an
introduction to version control in general, or to Git in particular.
The main entry point to Magit is `M-x magit-status', which puts you
in Magit's status buffer. You will be using it frequently, so it is
probably a good idea to globally bind `magit-status' to a key of your
choice.
In addition to the status buffer, Magit will also create buffers that
show lists of commits, buffers with diffs, and other kinds of buffers.
All these buffers are in a mode derived from `magit-mode' and have the
similar key bindings. Not all commands make sense in all contexts, but
a given key will do the same thing in different Magit buffers.
Naturally, Magit runs the `git' command to do most of the work. The
`*magit-process*' buffer contains the transcript of the most recent
command. You can switch to it with `$'.

3 Sections
**********
All Magit buffers are structured into nested 'sections'. These
sections can be hidden and shown individually. When a section is
hidden, only its first line is shown and all its children are
completely invisible.
The most fine-grained way to control the visibility of sections is
the `TAB' key. It will to toggle the current section (the section that
contains point) between being hidden and being shown.
Typing `S-TAB' toggles the visibility of the children of the current
section. When all of them are shown, they will all be hidden.
Otherwise, when some or all are hidden, they will all be shown.
The digit keys `1', `2', `3', and `4' control the visibility of
sections based on levels. Hitting `2', for example, will show sections
on levels one and two, and will hide sections on level 3. However,
only sections that are a parent or child of the current section are
affected.
For example, when the current section is on level 3 and you hit `1',
the grand-parent of the current section (which is on level one) will be
shown, and the parent of the current section (level 2) will be hidden.
The visibility of no other section will be changed.
This sounds a bit complicated, but you'll figure it out.
Using `M-1', `M-2', `M-3', and `M-4' is similar to the unmodified
digits, but now all sections on the respective level are affected,
regardless of whether or not they are related to the current section.
For example, `M-1' will only show the first lines of the top-level
sections and will hide everything else. Typing `M-4' on the other hand
will show everything.
Because of the way the status buffer is set up, some changes to
section visibility are more common than others. Files are on level 2
and diff hunks are on level 4. Thus, you can type `2' to collapse the
diff of the current file, and `M-2' to collapse all files. This
returns the status buffer to its default setup and is a quick way to
unclutter it after drilling down into the modified files.
Because `2' and `M-2' are so common in the status buffer, they are
bound to additional, more mnemonic keys: `M-h' (hide) and `M-H' (hide
all). Likewise `4' and `M-4' are also available as `M-s' (show) and
`M-S' (show all).
In other buffers than the status buffer, `M-h', `M-H', `M-s', and
`M-S' might work on different levels than on 2 and 4, but they keep
their general meaning: `M-H' hides all detail, and `M-S' shows
everything.

File: magit.info, Node: Status, Next: Untracked files, Prev: Sections, Up: Top
4 Status
********
Running `M-x magit-status' displays the main interface of Magit, the
status buffer. You can have multiple status buffers active at the same
time, each associated with its own Git repository.
When invoking `M-x magit-status' from within a Git repository, it
will switch to the status buffer of that repository. Otherwise, it
will prompt for a directory. With a prefix argument, it will always
prompt.
You can set `magit-repo-dirs' to customize how `magit-status' asks
for the repository to work on. When `magit-repo-dirs' is nil,
`magit-status' will simply ask for a directory.
If you specify a directory that is not a Git repository, `M-x
magit-status' will offer to initialize it as one.
When `magit-repo-dirs' is not nil, it is treated as a list of
directory names, and `magit-status' will find all Git repositories in
those directories and offer them for completion. (Magit will only look
`magit-repo-dirs-depth' levels deep, however.)
With two prefix arguments, `magit-status' will always prompt for a
raw directory.
Thus, you would normally set `magit-repo-dirs' to the places where
you keep most of your Git repositories and switch between them with
`C-u M-x magit-status'. If you want to go to a repository outside of
your normal working areas, or if you want to create a new repository,
you would use `C-u C-u M-x magit-status'.
You need to explicitly refresh the status buffer when you have made
changes to the repository from outside of Emacs. You can type `g' in
the status buffer itself, or just use `M-x magit-status' instead of
`C-x b' when switching to it. You also need to refresh the status
buffer in this way after saving a file in Emacs.
The header at the top of the status buffer shows a short summary of
the repository state: where it is located, which branch is checked out,
etc. Below the header are a number of sections that show details about
the working tree and the staging area. You can hide and show them as
described in the previous section.
The first section shows _Untracked files_, if there are any. See
*note Untracked files:: for more details.
The next two sections show your local changes. They are explained
fully in the next chapter, *note Staging and Committing::.
If the current branch is associated with a remote tracking branch,
the status buffer shows the differences between the current branch and
the tracking branch. See *note Pushing and Pulling:: for more
information.
During a history rewriting session, the status buffer shows the
_Pending changes_ and _Pending commits_ sections. See *note
Rewriting:: for more details.

File: magit.info, Node: Untracked files, Next: Staging and Committing, Prev: Status, Up: Top
5 Untracked files
*****************
Untracked files are shown in the _Untracked files_ section.
You can add an untracked file to the staging area with `s'. If
point is on the _Untracked files_ section title when you hit `s', all
untracked files are staged.
Typing `C-u S' anywhere will also stage all untracked files,
together with all changes to the tracked files.
You can instruct Git to ignore them by typing `i'. This will add
the filename to the `.gitignore' file. Typing `C-u i' will ask you for
the name of the file to ignore. This is useful to ignore whole
directories, for example. In this case, the minibuffer's future history
(accessible with `M-n') contains predefined values (such as wildcards)
that might be of interest. If prefix argument is negative (for example
after typing `C-- i'), the prompt proposes wildcard by default. The
`I' command is similar to `i' but will add the file to
`.git/info/exclude' instead.
To delete an untracked file forever, use `k'. If point is on the
_Untracked files_ section title when you hit `k', all untracked files
are deleted.

File: magit.info, Node: Staging and Committing, Next: History, Prev: Untracked files, Up: Top
6 Staging and Committing
************************
Committing with Git is a two step process: first you add the changes
you want to commit to a 'staging area' or 'index', and then you commit
them to the repository. This allows you to only commit a subset of the
changes in the working tree. If you are not familiar with this concept
yet, then you should change that as soon as possible using one of the
fine Git tutorials. If you don't, then Git and by extension Magit will
seem rather strange.
Magit shows uncommitted changes in two sections, depending on whether
the changes have been staged yet. The _Staged changes_ section shows
the changes that will be included in the next commit, while the
_Unstaged changes_ section shows the changes that will be left out.
To move an unstaged hunk into the staging area, move point into the
hunk and type `s'. Likewise, to unstage a hunk, move point into it and
type `u'. If point is in a diff header when you type `s' or `u', all
hunks belonging to that diff are moved at the same time.
Currently it is only possible to stage from the status buffer.
Staging and unstaging from diff buffers that show unstaged and staged
changes is not possible yet.
If the region is active when you type `s' or `u', only the changes
in the region are staged or unstaged. (This works line by line: if the
beginning of a line is in the region it is included in the changes,
otherwise it is not.)
To change the size of the hunks, you can type `+' or `-' to increase
and decrease, respectively. Typing `0' will reset the hunk size to the
default.
Typing `C-u s' will ask you for a name of a file to be staged, for
example to stage files that are hidden.
To move all hunks of all diffs into the staging area in one go, type
`S'. To unstage everything, type `U'.
Typing `C-u S' will stage all untracked files in addition to the
changes to tracked files.
You can discard uncommitted changes by moving point into a hunk and
typing `k'. The changes to discard are selected as with `s' and `u'.
Before committing, you should write a short description of the
changes.
Type `c c' to pop up a buffer where you can write your change
description. Once you are happy with the description, type `C-c C-c'
in that buffer to perform the commit.
If you want to write changes in a `ChangeLog' file, you can use `C-x
4 a' on a diff hunk.
Typing `c c' when the staging area is unused is a special situation.
Normally, the next commit would be empty, but you can configure Magit
to do something more useful by customizing the
`magit-commit-all-when-nothing-staged' variable. One choice is to
instruct the subsequent `C-c C-c' to commit all changes. Another
choice is stage everything at the time of hitting `c c'.
Typing `M-n' or `M-p' will cycle through the
`log-edit-comment-ring', which will have your previous log messages.
This is particularly useful if you have a hook that occasionally causes
git to refuse your commit.
To abort a commit use `C-c C-k'. The commit message is saved and
can later be retrieved in the commit message buffer using `M-n' and
`M-p'.
Typing `C' will also pop up the change description buffer, but in
addition, it will try to insert a ChangeLog-style entry for the change
that point is in.

File: magit.info, Node: History, Next: Reflogs, Prev: Staging and Committing, Up: Top
7 History
*********
To show the repository history of your current head, type `l l'. A new
buffer will be shown that displays the history in a terse form. The
first paragraph of each commit message is displayed, next to a
representation of the relationships between commits.
To show the repository history between two branches or between any
two points of the history, type `l r l'. You will be prompted to enter
references for starting point and ending point of the history range; you
can use auto-completion to specify them. A typical use case for ranged
history log display would be `l r l master RET new-feature RET' that
will display commits on the new-feature branch that are not in master;
these commits can then be inspected and cherry-picked, for example.
More thorough filtering can be done by supplying `l' with one or
more suffix arguments, as displayed in its popup. `=g' ('Grep') for
example, limits the output to commits of which the log message matches
a specific string/regex.
Typing `l L' (or `l C-u L') will show the log in a more verbose form.
Magit will show only `magit-log-cutoff-length' entries. `e' will
show twice as many entries. `C-u e' will show all entries, and given a
numeric prefix argument, `e' will add this number of entries.
You can move point to a commit and then cause various things to
happen with it. (The following commands work in any list of commits,
such as the one shown in the _Unpushed commits_ section.)
Typing `RET' will pop up more information about the current commit
and move point into the new buffer. *Note Commit Buffer::. Typing
`SPC' and `DEL' will also show the information, but will scroll the new
buffer up or down (respectively) when typed again.
Typing `a' will apply the current commit to your current branch.
This is useful when you are browsing the history of some other branch
and you want to `cherry-pick' some changes from it. A typical
situation is applying selected bug fixes from the development version
of a program to a release branch. The cherry-picked changes will not
be committed automatically; you need to do that explicitly.
Typing `A' will cherry-pick the current commit and will also commit
the changes automatically when there have not been any conflicts.
Typing `v' will revert the current commit. Thus, it will apply the
changes made by that commit in reverse. This is obviously useful to
cleanly undo changes that turned out to be wrong. As with `a', you
need to commit the changes explicitly.
Typing `C-w' will copy the sha1 of the current commit into the kill
ring.
Typing `=' will show the differences from the current commit to the
"marked" commit.
You can mark the current commit by typing `.'. When the current
commit is already marked, typing `.' will unmark it. To unmark the
marked commit no matter where point is, use `C-u .'.
Some commands, such as `=', will use the current commit and the
marked commit as implicit arguments. Other commands will offer the
marked commit as a default when prompting for their arguments.

File: magit.info, Node: Reflogs, Next: Commit Buffer, Prev: History, Up: Top
8 Reflogs
*********
You can use `l h' and `l H' to browse your _reflog_, the local history
of changes made to your repository heads. Typing `H' will ask for a
head, while `l h' will show the reflog of `HEAD'.
The resulting buffer is just like the buffer produced by `l l' and
`l L' that shows the commit history.

File: magit.info, Node: Commit Buffer, Next: Diffing, Prev: Reflogs, Up: Top
9 Commit Buffer
***************
When you view a commit (perhaps by selecting it in the log buffer,
*note History::), the "commit buffer" is displayed, showing you
information about the commit and letting you interact with it.
By placing your cursor within the diff or hunk and typing `a', you
can apply the same patch to your working copy. This is useful when you
want to copy a change from another branch, but don't necessarily want
to cherry-pick the whole commit.
By typing `v' you can apply the patch in reverse, removing all the
lines that were added and adding all the lines that were removed. This
is a convenient way to remove a change after determining that it
introduced a bug.
If the commit message refers to any other commits in the repository
by their unique hash, the hash will be highlighted and you will be able
to visit the referenced commit either by clicking on it or by moving
your cursor onto it and pressing `RET'.
The commit buffer maintains a history of the commits it has shown.
After visiting a referenced commit you can type `C-c C-b' to get back
to where you came from. To go forward in the history, type `C-c C-f'.
There are also `[back]' and `[forward]' buttons at the bottom of the
buffer.

File: magit.info, Node: Diffing, Next: Tagging, Prev: Commit Buffer, Up: Top
10 Diffing
**********
Magit typically shows diffs in the "unified" format.
In any buffer that shows a diff, you can type `e' anywhere within
the diff to show the two versions of the file in Ediff. If the diff is
of a file in the status buffer that needs to be merged, you will be
able to use Ediff as an interactive merge tool. Otherwise, Ediff will
simply show the two versions of the file.
To show the changes from your working tree to another revision, type
`d'. To show the changes between two arbitrary revisions, type `D'.
You can use `a' within the diff output to apply the changes to your
working tree. As usual when point is in a diff header for a file, all
changes for that file are applied, and when it is in a hunk, only that
hunk is. When the region is active, the applied changes are restricted
to that region.
Typing `v' will apply the selected changes in reverse.

File: magit.info, Node: Tagging, Next: Resetting, Prev: Diffing, Up: Top
11 Tagging
**********
Typing `t t' will make a lightweight tag. Typing `t a' will make an
annotated tag. It will put you in the normal `*magit-log-edit' buffer
for writing commit messages, but typing `C-c C-c' in it will make the
tag instead. This is controlled by the `Tag' field that will be added
to the `*magit-log-edit*' buffer. You can edit it, if you like.

File: magit.info, Node: Resetting, Next: Stashing, Prev: Tagging, Up: Top
12 Resetting
************
Once you have added a commit to your local repository, you can not
change that commit anymore in any way. But you can reset your current
head to an earlier commit and start over.
If you have published your history already, rewriting it in this way
can be confusing and should be avoided. However, rewriting your local
history is fine and it is often cleaner to fix mistakes this way than
by reverting commits (with `v', for example).
Typing `x' will ask for a revision and reset your current head to
it. No changes will be made to your working tree and staging area.
Thus, the _Staged changes_ section in the status buffer will show the
changes that you have removed from your commit history. You can commit
the changes again as if you had just made them, thus rewriting history.
Typing `x' while point is in a line that describes a commit will
offer this commit as the default revision to reset to. Thus, you can
move point to one of the commits in the _Unpushed commits_ section and
hit `x RET' to reset your current head to it.
Type `X' to reset your working tree and staging area to the most
recently committed state. This will discard your local modifications,
so be careful.
You can give a prefix to `x' if you want to reset both the current
head and your working tree to a given commit. This is the same as
first using an unprefixed `x' to reset only the head, and then using
`X'.

File: magit.info, Node: Stashing, Next: Branches and Remotes, Prev: Resetting, Up: Top
13 Stashing
***********
You can create a new stash with `z z'. Your stashes will be listed in
the status buffer, and you can apply them with `a' and pop them with
`A'. To drop a stash, use `k'.
With a prefix argument, both `a' and `A' will attempt to reinstate
the index as well as the working tree from the stash.
Typing `z -k z' will create a stash just like `z z', but will leave
the changes in your working tree and index. This makes it easier to,
for example, test multiple variations of the same change.
If you just want to make quick snapshots in between edits, you can
use `z s', which automatically enters a timestamp as description, and
keeps your working tree and index intact by default.
You can visit and show stashes in the usual way: Typing `SPC' and
`DEL' will pop up a buffer with the description of the stash and scroll
it, typing `RET' will move point into that buffer. Using `C-u RET'
will move point into that buffer in other window.

14 Branches and Remotes
***********************
The current branch is indicated in the header of the status buffer. If
this branch is tracking a remote branch, the latter is also indicated.
Branches and remotes can be manipulated directly with a popup menu or
through the branch manager. Using the popup menu allows you to quickly
make changes from any magit buffer. The branch manager is a separate
buffer called `*magit-branches*'. It displays information about
branches and remotes and offers a local key map for shorter key
bindings. The two interaction methods are described in more details
below.
* Menu:
* Branches Popup::
* Remotes Popup::
* Branches in the Branch Manager::
* Remotes in the Branch Manager::

File: magit.info, Node: Branches Popup, Next: Remotes Popup, Up: Branches and Remotes
14.1 Branches Popup
===================
Typing `b' will display a popup menu to manipulate branches.
You can switch to a different branch by typing `b b'. This will
immediately checkout the branch into your working copy, so you
shouldn't have any local modifications when switching branches.
If you try to switch to a remote branch, Magit will offer to create a
local tracking branch for it instead. This way, you can easily start
working on new branches that have appeared in a remote repository.
Typing `b b' while point is at a commit description will offer that
commit as the default to switch to. This will result in a detached
head.
To create a new branch and switch to it immediately, type `b c'.
To delete a branch, type `b k'. If you're currently on that branch,
Magit will offer to switch to the 'master' branch.
Typing `b r' will let you rename a branch. Unless a branch with
the same name already exists, obviously...
Deleting a branch is only possible if it's already fully merged into
HEAD or its upstream branch. Unless you type `b C-u k', that is. Here
be dragons...
Typing `b v' will launch the branch manager.

File: magit.info, Node: Remotes Popup, Next: Branches in the Branch Manager, Prev: Branches Popup, Up: Branches and Remotes
14.2 Remotes Popup
==================
Typing `M' will display a popup menu to manipulate remotes.
To add a new remote, type `M a'.
To delete a remote type `M k'.
Typing `M r' will let you rename a remote.

File: magit.info, Node: Branches in the Branch Manager, Next: Remotes in the Branch Manager, Prev: Remotes Popup, Up: Branches and Remotes
14.3 Branches in the Branch Manager
===================================
In the branch manager, each branch is displayed on a separate line. The
current local branch is marked by a "*" in front of the name. Remote
branches are grouped by the remote they come from.
If a local branch tracks a remote branch some extra information is
printed on the branch line. The format is the following: "<branch>
[<remote-branch> <remote>: ahead <a>, behind <b>]". "<remote-branch>"
is omitted if it is identical to "<branch>". "ahead" and "behind"
information are only displayed if necessary.
To check out a branch, move your cursor to the desired branch and
press `RET'.
Typing `c' will create a new branch.
Typing `k' will delete the branch in the current line, and `C-u k'
deletes it even if it hasn't been merged into the current local branch.
Deleting works for both local and remote branches.
Typing `r' on a branch will rename it.
Typing `T' on a local branch, changes which remote branch it tracks.

File: magit.info, Node: Remotes in the Branch Manager, Prev: Branches in the Branch Manager, Up: Branches and Remotes
14.4 Remotes in the Branch Manager
==================================
In the branch manager, each remote is displayed on a separate line. The
format is the following "<remote> (<url>, <push-url>)". "<push-url>"
is omitted if it is not set. The associated branches are listed under
this line.
Typing `a' will add a new remote.
Typing `k' will delete the remote in the current line.
Typing `r' on a remote will rename it.

File: magit.info, Node: Wazzup, Next: Merging, Prev: Branches and Remotes, Up: Top
15 Wazzup
*********
Typing `w' will show a summary of how your other branches relate to the
current branch.
For each branch, you will get a section that lists the commits in
that branch that are not in the current branch. The sections are
initially collapsed; you need to explicitly open them with `TAB' (or
similar) to show the lists of commits.
When point is on a _N unmerged commits in ..._ title, the
corresponding branch will be offered as the default for a merge.
Hitting `i' on a branch title will ignore this branch in the wazzup
view. You can use `C-u w' to show all branches, including the ignored
ones. Hitting `i' on an already ignored branch in that view will
unignore it.

File: magit.info, Node: Merging, Next: Rebasing, Prev: Wazzup, Up: Top
16 Merging
**********
Magit offers two ways to merge branches: manual and automatic. A
manual merge will apply all changes to your working tree and staging
area, but will not commit them, while an automatic merge will go ahead
and commit them immediately.
Type `m m' to initiate merge.
After initiating a merge, the header of the status buffer might
remind you that the next commit will be a merge commit (with more than
one parent). If you want to abort a manual merge, just do a hard reset
to HEAD with `X'.
Merges can fail if the two branches you want to merge introduce
conflicting changes. In that case, the automatic merge stops before the
commit, essentially falling back to a manual merge. You need to resolve
the conflicts for example with `e' and stage the resolved files, for
example with `S'.
You can not stage individual hunks one by one as you resolve them,
you can only stage whole files once all conflicts in them have been
resolved.

17 Rebasing
***********
Typing `R' in the status buffer will initiate a rebase or, if one is
already in progress, ask you how to continue.
When a rebase is stopped in the middle because of a conflict, the
header of the status buffer will indicate how far along you are in the
series of commits that are being replayed. When that happens, you
should resolve the conflicts and stage everything and hit `R c' to
continue the rebase. Alternatively, hitting `c' or `C' while in the
middle of a rebase will also ask you whether to continue the rebase.
Of course, you can initiate a rebase in any number of ways, by
configuring `git pull' to rebase instead of merge, for example. Such a
rebase can be finished with `R' as well.

File: magit.info, Node: Interactive Rebasing, Next: Rewriting, Prev: Rebasing, Up: Top
18 Interactive Rebasing
***********************
Typing `E' in the status buffer will initiate an interactive rebase.
This is equivalent to running `git rebase --interactive' at the command
line. The `git-rebase-todo' file will be opened in an Emacs buffer for
you to edit. This file is opened using `emacsclient', so just edit
this file as you normally would, then call the `server-edit' function
(typically bound to `C-x #') to tell Emacs you are finished editing,
and the rebase will proceed as usual.
If you have loaded `rebase-mode.el' (which is included in the Magit
distribution), the `git-rebase-todo' buffer will be in `rebase-mode'.
This mode disables normal text editing but instead provides single-key
commands (shown in the buffer) to perform all the edits that you would
normally do manually, including changing the operation to be performed
each commit ("pick", "squash", etc.), deleting (commenting out) commits
from the list, and reordering commits. You can finish editing the
buffer and proceed with the rebase by pressing `C-c C-c', which is
bound to `server-edit' in this mode, and you can abort the rebase with
`C-c C-k', just like when editing a commit message in Magit.

19 Rewriting
************
As hinted at earlier, you can rewrite your commit history. For
example, you can reset the current head to an earlier commit with `x'.
This leaves the working tree unchanged, and the status buffer will show
all the changes that have been made since that new value of the current
head. You can commit these changes again, possibly splitting them into
multiple commits as you go along.
Amending your last commit is a common special case of rewriting
history like this.
Another common way to rewrite history is to reset the head to an
earlier commit, and then to cherry pick the previous commits in a
different order. You could pick them from the reflog, for example.
Magit has several commands that can simplify the book keeping
associated with rewriting. These commands all start with the `r'
prefix key.
(Unless you already do so, we recommend that you don't use the
functionality described here. It is semi-deprecated and will be
removed once its unique features have been ported to the `git rebase
--interactive' workflow. Even now the latter is almost always the
better option.)
Typing `r b' will start a rewrite operation. You will be prompted
for a _base_ commit. This commit and all subsequent commits up until
the current head are then put in a list of _Pending commits_, after
which the current head will be reset to the _parent_ of the base
commit. This can be configured to behave like `git rebase', i.e.
exclude the selected base commit from the rewrite operation, with the
`magit-rewrite-inclusive' variable.
You would then typically use `a' and `A' to cherry pick commits from
the list of pending commits in the desired order, until all have been
applied. Magit shows which commits have been applied by changing their
marker from `*' to `.'.
Using `A' will immediately commit the commit (as usual). If you
want to combine multiple previous commits into a single new one, use
`a' to apply them all to your working tree, and then commit them
together.
Magit has no explicit support for rewriting merge commits. It will
happily include merge commits in the list of pending commits, but there
is no way of replaying them automatically. You have to redo the merge
explicitly.
You can also use `v' to revert a commit when you have changed your
mind. This will change the `.' mark back to `*'.
Once you are done with the rewrite, type `r s' to remove the book
keeping information from the status buffer.
If you rather wish to start over, type `r a'. This will abort the
rewriting, resetting the current head back to the value it had before
the rewrite was started with `r b'.
Typing `r f' will _finish_ the rewrite: it will apply all unused
commits one after the other, as if you would use `A' with all of them.
You can change the `*' and `.' marks of a pending commit explicitly
with `r *' and `r .'.
In addition to a list of pending commits, the status buffer will show
the _Pending changes_. This section shows the diff between the
original head and the current head. You can use it to review the
changes that you still need to rewrite, and you can apply hunks from
it, like from any other diff.

File: magit.info, Node: Pushing and Pulling, Next: Submodules, Prev: Rewriting, Up: Top
20 Pushing and Pulling
**********************
Magit will run `git push' when you type `P P'. If you give a prefix
argument to `P P', you will be prompted for the repository to push to.
When no default remote repository has been configured yet for the
current branch, you will be prompted as well. Typing `P P' will only
push the current branch to the remote. In other words, it will run
`git push <remote> <branch>'. The branch will be created in the remote
if it doesn't exist already. The local branch will be configured so
that it pulls from the new remote branch. If you give a double prefix
argument to `P P', you will be prompted in addition for the target
branch to push to. In other words, it will run `git push <remote>
<branch>:<target>'.
Typing `f f' will run `git fetch'. It will prompt for the name of
the remote to update if there is no default one. Typing `f o' will
always prompt for the remote. Typing `F F' will run `git pull'. When
you don't have a default branch configured to be pulled into the
current one, you will be asked for it.
If there is a default remote repository for the current branch, Magit
will show that repository in the status buffer header.
In this case, the status buffer will also have a _Unpushed commits_
section that shows the commits on your current head that are not in the
branch named `<remote>/<branch>'. This section works just like the
history buffer: you can see details about a commit with `RET', compare
two of them with `.' and `=', and you can reset your current head to
one of them with `x', for example. If you want to push the changes
then type `P P'.
When the remote branch has changes that are not in the current
branch, Magit shows them in a section called _Unpulled changes_. Typing
`F F' will fetch and merge them into the current branch.

*************
`o u'
Update the submodules, with a prefix argument it will also

`o i'
Initialize the submodules.

22 Bisecting
************
Magit supports bisecting by showing how many revisions and steps are
left to be tested in the status buffer. You can control the bisect
session from both the status and from log buffers with the `B' key menu.
Typing `B s' will start a bisect session. You will be prompted for
a revision that is known to be bad (defaults to _HEAD_) and for a
revision that is known to be good (defaults to the revision at point if
there is one). git will select a revision for you to test, and Magit
will update its status buffer accordingly.
You can tell git that the current revision is good with `B g', that
it is bad with `B b' or that git should skip it with `B k'. You can
also tell git to go into full automatic mode by giving it the name of a
script to run for each revision to test with `B u'.
The current status can be shown as a log with `B l'. It contains
the revisions that have already been tested and your decisions about
their state.
The revisions left to test can be visualized in gitk with `B v'.
When you're finished bisecting you have to reset the session with `B
r'.

23 Finding commits not merged upstream
**************************************
One of the comforts of git is that it can tell you which commits have
been merged upstream but not locally and vice versa. Git's sub-command
for this is `cherry' (not to be confused with `cherry-pick'). Magit
has support for this by invoking `magit-cherry' which is bound to `y'
by default.
Magit will then ask you first for the upstream revision (which
defaults to the currently tracked remote branch if any) and the head
revision (which defaults to the current branch) to use in the
comparison. You will then see a new buffer in which all commits are
listed with a directional marker, their revision and the commit
message's first line. The directional marker is either `+' indicating
a commit that's present in upstream but not in head or `-' which
indicates a commit present in head but not in upstream.
From this list you can use the usual key bindings for cherry-picking
individual commits (`a' for cherry-picking without committing and `A'
for the same plus the automatic commit). The buffer is refreshed
automatically after each cherry-pick.

24 Magit Extensions
*******************
* Menu:
* Activating extensions::
* Interfacing with Subversion::
* Interfacing with Topgit::
* Interfacing with StGit::

File: magit.info, Node: Activating extensions, Next: Interfacing with Subversion, Up: Using Magit Extensions
24.1 Activating extensions
==========================
Magit comes with a couple of shipped extensions that allow interaction
with `git-svn', `topgit' and `stgit'. See following sections for
specific details on how to use them.
Extensions can be activated globally or on a per-repository basis.
Since those extensions are implemented as minor modes, one can use for
example `M-x magit-topgit-mode' to toggle the `topgit' extension,
making the corresponding section and commands (un)available.
In order to do that automatically (and for every repository), one can
use for example:
(add-hook 'magit-mode-hook 'turn-on-magit-topgit)
Magit also allows configuring different extensions, based on the git
repository configuration.
(add-hook 'magit-mode-hook 'magit-load-config-extensions)
This will read git configuration variables and activate the relevant
extensions.
For example, after running the following commands, the `topgit'
extension will be loaded for every repository, while the `svn' one will
be loaded only for the current one.
$ git config --global --add magit.extension topgit
$ git config --add magit.extension svn
Note the `--add' flag, which means that each extension gets its own
line in the `config' file.

File: magit.info, Node: Interfacing with Subversion, Next: Interfacing with Topgit, Prev: Activating extensions, Up: Using Magit Extensions
24.2 Interfacing with Subversion
================================
Typing `N r' runs `git svn rebase', typing `N c' runs `git svn dcommit'
and typing `N f' runs `git svn fetch'.
`N s' will prompt you for a (numeric, Subversion) revision and then
search for a corresponding Git sha1 for the commit. This is limited to
the path of the remote Subversion repository. With a prefix (`C-u N s'
the user will also be prompted for a branch to search in.

File: magit.info, Node: Interfacing with Topgit, Next: Interfacing with StGit, Prev: Interfacing with Subversion, Up: Using Magit Extensions
24.3 Interfacing with Topgit
============================
Topgit (http://repo.or.cz/r/topgit.git) is a patch queue manager that
aims at being close as possible to raw Git, which makes it easy to use
with Magit. In particular, it does not require to use a different set
of commands for "commit", "update", and other operations.
`magit-topgit.el' provides basic integration with Magit, mostly by
providing a "Topics" section.
Topgit branches can be created the regular way, by using a "t/"
prefix by convention. So, creating a "t/foo" branch will actually
populate the "Topics" section with one more branch after committing
`.topdeps' and `.topmsg'.
Also, the way we pull (see *note Pushing and Pulling::) such a
branch is slightly different, since it requires updating the various
dependencies of that branch. This should be mostly transparent, except
in case of conflicts.

File: magit.info, Node: Interfacing with StGit, Prev: Interfacing with Topgit, Up: Using Magit Extensions
24.4 Interfacing with StGit
===========================
StGit (http://www.procode.org/stgit) is a Python application providing
similar functionality to Quilt (i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a
stack) on top of Git. These operations are performed using Git
commands and the patches are stored as Git commit objects, allowing
easy merging of the StGit patches into other repositories using
standard Git functionality.
`magit-stgit.el' provides basic integration with Magit, mostly by
providing a "Series" section, whose patches can be seen as regular
commits through the "visit" action.
You can change the current patch in a series with the "apply" action,
as well as you can delete them using the "discard" action.
Additionally, the `magit-stgit-refresh' and `magit-stgit-rebase'
commands let you perform the respective StGit operations.

Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
with or without modifying it, either commercially or
noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
that the software does. But this License is not limited to
software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
instruction or reference.
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
"Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You
accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
way requiring permission under copyright law.
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document
is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
regarding them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
the notice that says that the Document is released under this
License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License. A
Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
be at most 25 words.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an
otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is
not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A
copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include
PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
"Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
which states that this License applies to the Document. These
Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
has no effect on the meaning of this License.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
and you may publicly display copies.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
front cover must present the full title with all words of the
title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material
on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the
covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
numbering more than 100, you must either include a
machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
which the general network-using public has access to download
using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the
latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
location until at least one year after the last time you
distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
retailers) of that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
the Document well before redistributing any large number of
copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
version of the Document.
4. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these
things in the Modified Version:
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
in the History section of the Document). You may use the
same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
that version gives permission.
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
from this requirement.
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
the Addendum below.
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
license notice.
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in
the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
the previous sentence.
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
likewise the network locations given in the Document for
previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in
the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a
work that was published at least four years before the
Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
it refers to gives permission.
K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
titles.
M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
"Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
Section.
O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
material copied from the Document, you may at your option
designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this,
add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any
other section titles.
You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one
passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the
Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under
this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
"History" in the various original documents, forming one section
Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
"Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You
must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
documents released under this License, and replace the individual
copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
that document.
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
the whole aggregate.
8. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
include the original English version of this License and the
original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
disagreement between the translation and the original version of
this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
actual title.

ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
====================================================
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
notices just after the title page:
Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
Free Documentation License''.
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
being LIST.
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
permit their use in free software.
