git - Overview of version control in emacs -


i found out emacs integrates support version control (via same problem as, , answer from, emacs , symbolic links). tried find overview of emacs vc includes, find details , technical (e.g. emacs man vc).

does know of quick introduction / overview of emacs vc?
i.e. why use it, instead of (e.g.) git directly? basic features have?

why use it, instead of (e.g.) git directly?

for same reason 1 uses other integrated tools , guis: less typing, faster turnaround.

what basic features have?

cli cycle:

  1. edit file
  2. switch shell, run git commit file
  3. edit commit message in new editor; oops - need @ original file ...

emacs cycle:

  1. edit file
  2. c-x v v - new buffer appears commit message, can edit while viewing changes made in diff buffer (c-x v =); c-c c-c when done , can resume editing right away.

or select files in vc-dir buffer (c-x v d) , operate on them: diff, commit, pull &c.

just start using emacs/vc , ask specific questions.

ps. see emacs wiki:

  1. version control
  2. category version control
