@robinlovelace #emacs, which includes the incomparable #orgmode, #magit (git), and #tramp (editing remote files, running remote processes), along with good support for #RMarkdown and #BibTeX

While I use some in-#Emacs tools (e.g. #mastodonEl, #mu4e, #EXWM of course, #magit, etc.), I find #jabberEl pretty outdated compared to modern #Jabber clients like #Dino, #Gajim or #Profanity. And #eww feels very slow compared to #Firefox 🙁 (C-x 8 RET SLIGHTLY FROWNING FACE RET).

@jamesrylandmiller - Ulysses, which i use for long-form writing
- Bike, which i've recently been trying to use for outlining
- Obsidian, which is free but i do pay for Obsidian Sync
- Git Tower, which is a great Git client for macOS

the first three can all be replaced by #orgmode, the last one by #magit.

these are all native #macOS apps designed by some very competent devs, so they're all really very lovely. but subscriptions cost money, and all of them have missing features or limitations that don't matter when i'm in #Emacs.

Note that Emacs is far more than a large window with monospace text. GUI Emacs (the preferred way to use it) supports variably sized fonts (both horizontal and vertical) images and more.

Emacs users prefer text-based interactions as they're easy to navigate with a keyboard but even text-based UIs can do quite a bit more than you might expect.
Check out (heh) #Magit for example.

Whether Emacs' UI is "slick" is subjective but it's certainly more than a monospaced grid of characters.

I am so proud of myself 🙂: I have just used #git #CherryPick for the first time ever and, drum roll, it worked! Did it via the command line as for some reason I get lost sometimes using #magit in #Emacs even though magit is fantastic for the usual activities.

How do you guys resolve merge conflicts in #emacs? I currently use #magit to find the conflicting files and then manually "M-x smerge-keep-blah". But a hydra or a transient (?) would be a better choice. Or does magit come with that already?

#emacs folks
I observed two very strage thing , that I need figure out say without Google
1- Whan i tried to encrypt my authinfo with #gpg by simply saving it , it told me that my my key is useless, which didn't change when i tried it even by command line
I deleted authinfo and gpg keys
And created another, did the same ( iirc) but with epa-encrypt-file and encrypted a one password /region at a time, it worked for whole file
2- I tried to mv an older version of a file in another dir on cmd , which is present in Emacs ls , but ls can't stat it , when I try to cp the same file to another dir , it works
What's going on
I am on #nixos and using #magit

#Lazygit is five years old. I’ve been using it for a few years, and it’s made interacting with #Git so much more convenient. I used #vimagit (inspired by a coworker’s use of #Magit) before it, and the official Git #CLI before that.

Love me a good tool

Lem news: I ran my first interactive git rebase inside Lem 😎 (lots of work remaining)

Hey everyone!!! I just released a really important usability update for #Gex, which is my #Rust #OSS project for #git interaction inspired by #Magit

Finally, we have scrolling! This is a feature that should've been added a long time ago, but here it is. Spent a long time tweaking it to try and get it to feel "right" so I'd love to know what you think!

Why has it taken me this long to find the package forge for #Emacs. This plus code-review and #magit are the power packages.

My third #emacs package is on #MELPA! Use heroku.el to as easily manage your #heroku instances, as you manage git with #magit. Transient is the most efficient interface possible! You can tail logs, run commands like bash and python, restart and promote dynos, connect to Heroku Postgres with #psql using built-in Emacs sql functionalityand more!

John Gruber might be Satan. magit-wip-mode. I can never tell when NYT is being obtuse or unintentionally helpful. New Himalayan loom – fingers crossed.

So that's it for Fashion for today (I think). Here's one declaration: I finally followed a video on how to make more than one github account and figured out a system for public/private for each yesterday. Which is good. I track a few things with friends and I want my stuff to be public for them.

And it works flawlessly with Magit of course. Gotta love Magit (new user, new fangirl) 👩🏼‍💻

I too don't like to use #overleaf!
But I clone the git repo, work locally (on #emacs) and commit and push the changes for my co-authors to see (with #magit).

I'm writing a large document in #latex in #emacs and I track my changes with #magit. Is there a way to view to view Levensthein edit distance or similar instead of line diffs? MS Visual Studio actually does this quiet wonderfully despite being otherwise less than wonderful.

@mykhaylo Yeah, but using #magit just to git config.org is kind of silly I think. Unless it's not and you can let me know how wrong I am - something to which I'm not adverse at all. 😀

OMG git in #emacs (via #magit) is insanely powerful and easy to use.

I just was cherry picking commits from a branch that I'd deleted (thanks git reflog!) all with a few keystrokes and I didn't need to RTFM

🤯🤯🤯

Hypothesis: the quality of commit messages is directly proportional to the quality of the UI within the IDE used.

Prediction: folk using #Emacs and #Magit on average produce the best quality and most useful commit messages.

I'm using TRAMP to ssh into a VM running on my local machine. I cd'd into a git repo, and hit `magit-status` almost without thinking. It just... worked. Amazing.
