Next: Git Process Status, Up: Running Git [Contents][Index]
Magit runs Git either for side-effects (e.g. when pushing) or to get some value (e.g. the name of the current branch).
When Git is run for side-effects, the process output is logged in a
per-repository log buffer, which can be consulted using the
magit-process command when things don’t go as expected.
The output/errors for up to ‘magit-process-log-max’ Git commands are retained.
magit-process)This commands displays the process buffer for the current repository.
Inside that buffer, the usual key bindings for navigating and showing sections are available. There is one additional command.
magit-process-kill)This command kills the process represented by the section at point.
When this is non-nil then the output of all calls to git are logged in the process buffer. This is useful when debugging, otherwise it just negatively affects performance.
