Git

Review saved changes, choose what enters the index and make a commit inside rev. This independent User Guide path needs an installed Git executable and ordinary file/save controls; it does not require Org or a terminal buffer. The examples use a disposable local repository and never contact a remote.

Get started

  1. Inspect Saved Changes: compare a saved file with its index and return to editing.
  2. Stage and Commit: stage a change, compose a message and inspect the resulting commit.
  3. Explore Repository History: inspect a revision, create a local tag and distinguish fetch from integration.

Start with Edit Your First File if opening, editing or saving a file is new. The Git keys work in both startup profiles. M-x and modal colon expose the same git- commands; editable composers keep ordinary text input.

Specific tasks

Understand and look up

Git ownership explains saved files, source buffers, observations and processes. The Git reference connects exact commands, contextual keys, startup settings and limits.
