Some of my tricks (about which i've mailed the author) are listed: 1. > you can drop a hunk using k, or split it using C-c C-s. Complicated partial commits are also possible. Consider such a diff: context1 context2 -deletion1 -deletion2 -deletion3 +addition1 +addition2 +addition3 context3 context4 If you want to commit only the, say, upper part, you can change it to: context1 context2 -deletion1 -deletion2 +addition1 +addition2 deletion3 context3 context4 Apart from the normal editing commands, C-x r t may be used to change the 1st character of the lines between +/-/space instantaneously: this makes sure the header counts are not turned off (btw you can undo if that happens), which is good as an indicator of an invalid diff . 2. C-x v g a a a... (Historical line-by-line git blame) Of course, ICYDK, you can use C-x x u before the 'a', to keep that buffer around. 3. C-x v ! C-x v L, add: -G"search term", RET (commit search) 4. C-x v ! in general, for slight modifications. For e.g. to compare a stash with the worktree, stash the latter (z s) and use this prefix before '=' on the former and change the command to "git diff ..." etc. Bonus: I've C-h RET (actually <F1> RET) bound to a lambda (man (Man-default-man-entry)) for quick look up in the command-editing minibuffer (because "minibuffer within a minibuffer" is impossible). -- --- via emacs-tangents mailing list (https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-tangents)
