Magit (/ˈmædʒɪt/ MA-jit or /ˈmʌɡɪt/ MUH-git) is an interface to the Git version control system, available as a GNU Emacs package written in Emacs Lisp. It is available through the MELPA package repository, on which it is the most-downloaded non-library package, with over 4.3 million downloads as of September 2024.
Like many graphical user interfaces, Magit provides a visual interface to represent version control actions; however, it uses a keyboard-centric model, and also functions as a text-based user interface. The issue of key-memorization is mitigated through use of a popup menu which displays the actions available to the user — serving as a mnemonic aid.
