Magit (/ ˈ m æ d ʒ ɪ t / MA-jit or / ˈ m ʌ ɡ ɪ t / MUH-git [2]) is an interface to the Git version control system, available as a GNU Emacs package [3] [4] written in Emacs Lisp.It is available through the MELPA package repository, [5] on which it is the most-downloaded non-library package, with over 4.3 million downloads as of September 2024.
The users of the version control system can branch any branch. Branches are also known as trees, streams or codelines. The originating branch is sometimes called the parent branch, the upstream branch (or simply upstream, especially if the branches are maintained by different organizations or individuals), or the backing stream.
Source Code Control System (SCCS) [open, shared] – part of UNIX; based on interleaved deltas, can construct versions as arbitrary sets of revisions; extracting an arbitrary version takes essentially the same time and is thus more useful in environments that rely heavily on branching and merging with multiple "current" and identical versions
The command to create a local repo, git init, creates a branch named master. [61] [111] Often it is used as the integration branch for merging changes into. [112] Since the default upstream remote is named origin, [113] the default remote branch is origin/master. Some tools such as GitHub and GitLab create a default branch named main instead.
Branch prediction attempts to guess whether a conditional jump will be taken or not. Branch target prediction attempts to guess the target of a taken conditional or unconditional jump before it is computed by decoding and executing the instruction itself. Branch prediction and branch target prediction are often combined into the same circuitry.
Version control (also known as revision control, source control, and source code management) is the software engineering practice of controlling, organizing, and tracking different versions in history of computer files; primarily source code text files, but generally any type of file.
As an alternative this pattern can be realized using different branches in version control. For instance, GitHub can force all commits to a branch B to be merge commits from pull requests which have successfully been built on the CI server and are up-to-date (i.e. based or rebased on B).
It can be considered "Git for operating system binaries". It operates in userspace, and will work on top of any Linux file system. At its core is a Git-like content-addressed object store with branches (or "refs") to track meaningful file system trees within the store.
