10 Plumbing

The following sections describe how to use several of Magit’s core abstractions to extend Magit itself or implement a separate extension.

A few of the low-level features used by Magit have been factored out into separate libraries/packages, so that they can be used by other packages, without having to depend on Magit. These libraries are described in separate manuals, see (with-editor)Top and (magit-popup)Top.

If you are trying to find an unused key that you can bind to a command provided by your own Magit extension, then checkout https://github.com/magit/magit/wiki/Plugin-Dispatch-Key-Registry.
