| The git-el package provides various modules for Emacs support. |
| |
| When the git-el package is installed, the modules will be automatically |
| made available to installed Emacs versions. The configuration |
| can be overridden in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50git-core.el. |
| |
| The following modules are available: |
| |
| * git.el: |
| |
| Status manager that displays the state of all the files of the |
| project, and provides easy access to the most frequently used git |
| commands. The user interface is as far as possible compatible with |
| the pcl-cvs mode. It can be started with `M-x git-status'. |
| |
| * git-blame.el: |
| |
| Emacs implementation of incremental git-blame. When you turn it on |
| while viewing a file, the editor buffer will be updated by setting |
| the background of individual lines to a color that reflects which |
| commit it comes from. |
| |
| * vc-git.el: |
| |
| This file used to contain the VC-mode backend for git, but it is no |
| longer distributed with git. It is now maintained as part of Emacs |
| and included in standard Emacs distributions starting from version |
| 22.2. |
| |
| If you have an earlier Emacs version, upgrading to Emacs 22 is |
| recommended, since the VC mode in older Emacs is not generic enough |
| to be able to support git in a reasonable manner, and no attempt has |
| been made to backport vc-git.el. |
