Git Extensions is amazing. Too bad it's only for Windows. As nice as Magit may be, it would be even better as a standalone TUI application. I don't want to have to learn Emacs to use it.
Practical example - while browsing GitHub in my browser, with a keypress I can let Emacs grab the current thing and operate on it - clone the repo, read files, review PRs and Issues, etc. I can even do these things directly from my notes, or when someone shares a url with me. This isn't part of Magit, these are my own customizations, but it would be much more difficult to achieve without Magit.
So in my .profile I've got
``` alias gg="NEOGIT_SLAVE=1 nvim" ```
It's definitely not perfect but it's good enough to work for basic committing/rebasing flows and it's faster than booting up emacs for the same purpose.
