Complex interactive rebases and squashing/breaking apart commits, Staging and unstaging individual code hunks
It's a powerful, keyboard-driven Git interface for Emacs, but requires using Emacs which is a blocker for many.

The nice thing about magit is that it doesn t hide git. What it does add is easier typing of the flags (using transient), completions of arguments like branch names (using Emacs), DWIM behavior depending on cursor position and region selection (especially for commit hashes). Also it has nice presentation of the information which acts like hubs for all the above.

I can stage and unstage individual hunks, do complex interactive rebases, squash commits, break apart commits, etc. much faster in Magit than I can in other Git GUIs.

Magit is absolutely the best Git GUI ever. Unfortunately, for most people the fact that it's part of Emacs is a blocker.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Using it as a Git GUI, specifically for rebasing and leveraging Git's full potential.
Magit is absolutely the best Git GUI ever. But it isn't graphical :-P.

I am taking a stab at real time code review and have some crummy magit-like code review built in that I need to revisit.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: As inspiration for a built-in code review feature, but their current implementation is lacking.
I used Magit before and during the making of this I found out GitUI exists too but I think it s pretty powerful if the tool doesn t do exactly what you want and are opinionated you can tailor your tools the way you want.
