Questions tagged [magit]

Magit is an Emacs mode for interacting with Git.

Magit is an interface to the version control system Git, implemented as an Emacs extension.

Unlike the Version Control package which is part of Emacs and strives to provide a unified interface to various version control systems, Magit only supports Git and can therefore better take advantage of its native features.

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's maintainer prefers if questions are asked on the dedicated Emacs Stackexchange site instead of here.

I've looked the introductory video, but I do not really find clear instructions on how it is possible to easily cherrypick between an old/new version of a file in magit. What I'm trying to say is that in e.g. eclipse (which I don't like it all,…
