## Description
This layers adds extensive support for [git][].
Features:
- git repository management the indispensable [magit][] package
- [git-flow][] add-on for magit.
- quick in buffer history browsing with [git-timemachine][]
- quick in buffer last commit message per line with [git-messenger][]
- colorize buffer line by age of commit with [smeargle][]
- git gutter in fringe with [git-gutter][]
This layer also provides support for Github with:
- [magit-gh-pulls][]: handy `magit` add-on to manage Github pull requests.
- [gist.el][]: full-featured mode to browse and post Githug gists.

## Install
### Layer
To use this contribution add it to your `~/.spacemacs`
```elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(git))
```
### Github support
To enable the Github support set the variable `git-enable-github-support`
to `t` in your `dotspacemacs/init` function.
```elisp
(defun dotspacemacs/init ()
(setq-default git-enable-github-support t)
)
```
### Magit status fullscreen
To display the `magit status` buffer in fullscreen set the variable
`git-magit-status-fullscreen` to `t` in your `dotspacemacs/init` function.
```elisp
(defun dotspacemacs/init ()
(setq-default git-magit-status-fullscreen t)
)
```
### Magit auto-complete
Magit auto-complete feature is enabled. For this feature to work best you
have to setup your Git repository directory in your `dotspacemacs/config`
function, this is the folder where you keep all your git-controlled projects
(the path should end up with a `/` to respect Emacs conventions):
```elisp
(setq magit-repo-dirs '("~/repos/"))
```
For more information, see [Magit-User-Manual#Status][]
### Magit SVN plugin
For convenience the magit SVN plugin can be activated directly in the Git
layer by setting the variable `git-enable-magit-svn-plugin` to `t`.
```elisp
(defun dotspacemacs/init ()
(setq-default git-enable-magit-svn-plugin t)
)
```
### Git gutter
In graphical environment `Spacemacs` will display [git-gutter][] icons in
the fringe by default.
It is possible to disable the usage of the fringe by setting the variable
`git-gutter-use-fringe` to `nil` in the `dotspacemacs/init` function:
```elisp
(defun dotspacemacs/init ()
(setq-default git-gutter-use-fringe nil)
)
```
### Git
Of course if your OS does not ship with git (!) you'll have to install it
on your machine, [download page][].
## Working with Git
Git commands (start with `g`):
Key Binding | Description
---------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
<kbd>SPC g b</kbd> | open a `magit` blame
<kbd>SPC g C</kbd> | commit changes
<kbd>SPC g h c</kbd> | clear highlights
<kbd>SPC g h h</kbd> | highlight regions by age of commits
<kbd>SPC g h t</kbd> | highlight regions by last updated time
<kbd>SPC g l</kbd> | open a `magit` log
<kbd>SPC g s</kbd> | open a `magit` status window
<kbd>SPC g m</kbd> | display the last commit message of the current line
<kbd>SPC g t</kbd> | launch the git time machine
- Highlight by age of commit or last update time is provided by
[smeargle][].
- Git time machine is provided by [git-timemachine][].
- Git last commit message per line is provided by
[git-messenger][]
### Magit
`Spacemacs` uses [magit][] to manage Git repositories.
To open a `status buffer`, type in a buffer of a Git repository:
<SPC> g s
`hjkl` navigation is enabled in all Magit buffers. The default Magit keys
on `hjkl` (if they exist) are remapped on `HJKL`.
Here are the often used bindings inside a `status buffer`:
Key Binding | Description
------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
<kbd>/</kbd> | evil-search
<kbd>$</kbd> | open `command output buffer`
<kbd>c c</kbd> | open a `commit message buffer`
<kbd>b b</kbd> | checkout a branch
<kbd>b c</kbd> | create a branch
<kbd>b v</kbd> | open the `branch manager buffer`
<kbd>f f</kbd> | fetch changes
<kbd>F -r F</kbd> | pull and rebase
<kbd>h</kbd> | go left
<kbd>j</kbd> | go down
<kbd>C-j</kbd | goto next magit section
<kbd>k</kbd> | go up
<kbd>K</kbd> | discard changes
<kbd>C-k</kbd | goto previous magit section
<kbd>l</kbd> | go right
<kbd>L l</kbd> | open `log buffer`
<kbd>n</kbd> | next search occurrence
<kbd>C-n</kbd | goto next magit section
<kbd>N</kbd> | previous search occurrence _or_ SVN sub-menu
<kbd>P P</kbd> | push
<kbd>C-p</kbd | goto previous magit section
<kbd>q</kbd> | quit
<kbd>s</kbd> | on a file or hunk in a diff: stage the file or hunk
<kbd>+</kbd> | on a hunk: increase hunk size
<kbd>-</kbd> | on a hunk: decrease hunk size
<kbd>S</kbd> | stage all
<kbd>TAB</kbd> | on a file: expand/collapse diff
<kbd>u</kbd> | on a staged file: unstage
<kbd>U</kbd> | unstage all staged files
<kbd>v</kbd> | `visual state`
<kbd>V</kbd> | `visual-line state`
<kbd>C-v</kbd> | revert item at point
<kbd>z z</kbd> | stash changes
In a commit message buffer press `C-c C-c` to commit the changes with the
entered message. `C-c C-k` will discard the commit message.
**Note:** Sometimes you will be asked about reverting the commit buffer,
you can answer `y` with no issue.
### Quick guide for recurring use cases in Magit
- Amend a commit:
- `L l` to open `log buffer`
- `c a` on the commit you want to amend
- `C-c C-c` to submit the changes
- Squash last commit:
- `L l` to open `log buffer`
- `E` on the second to last commit, it opens the `rebase buffer`
- `j` to put point on last commit
- `s` to squash it
- `C-c C-c` to continue to the `commit message buffer`
- `C-c C-c` again when you have finished to edit the commit message
- Force push a squashed commit:
- in the `status buffer` you should see the new commit unpushed and the
old commit unpulled
- `P -f P` for force a push (**beware** usually it is not recommended to
rewrite the history of a public repository, but if you are *sure* that you
are the only one to work on a repository it is ok - i.e. in your fork).
- Add upstream remote (the parent repository you have forked):
- `b v` to open the `branch manager buffer`
- `a` to add a remote, type the name (i.e. `upstream`) and the URL
- Pull changes from upstream (the parent repository you have forked) and push:
- `F -r C-u F` and choose `upstream` or the name you gave to it
- `P P` to push the commit to `origin`
### Git time machine
[git-timemachine] allows to quickly browse the commits of the current buffer.
Key Binding | Description
--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
<kbd>SPC g t</kbd> | start git timemachine and initiate micro-state
<kbd>c</kbd> | show current commit
<kbd>n</kbd> | show next commit
<kbd>N</kbd> | show previous commit
<kbd>p</kbd> | show previous commit
<kbd>q</kbd> | leave micro-state and git timemachine
<kbd>Y</kbd> | copy current commit hash
### Git gutter
With [git-gutter][] it is possible to navigate between hunks, stage them and
revert them.
Git gutter hunks commands start with `gh`:
Key Binding | Description
----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
<kbd>SPC g h n</kbd> | next hunk in buffer
<kbd>SPC g h N</kbd> | previous hunk in buffer
<kbd>SPC g h r</kbd> | revert current hunk
<kbd>SPC g h s</kbd> | stage current hunk
`Spacemacs` has custom fringe bitmaps for [git-gutter-fringe][git-gutter]:
Symbol | Description
:-------------------------------:|-----------------
![git-new](img/git-new-line.png) | new line
![git-del](img/git-del-line.png) | at least one line has been deleted
![git-mod](img/git-mod-line.png) | modified line
