Magit is an interface to the version control system
<a href="https://git-scm.com">Git</a>, implemented as an
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs">Emacs</a> package.
Magit aspires to be a complete Git porcelain. While we cannot
(yet) claim that Magit wraps and improves upon each and every Git
command, it is complete enough to allow even experienced Git users
to perform almost all of their daily version control tasks directly
from within Emacs. While many fine Git clients exist, only Magit
and Git itself deserve to be called porcelains.
