> I nearly forgot how to use git commands anymore

This is my one fear. I am however willing to put up with this decay given the increase in productivity. It's up there with org-mode as an emacs feature.

After more than two years using Magit, I can only think of one instance when I didn't recall a git command when I needed it. It took about 5s of googling to find.

You can always see what command Magit is running behind the scenes by hitting `$`, in case you're curious -- I've learned a few things this way.

Yes I agree and the mappings are largely one to one. As you say magit-process with $ is great.

Next up to play with: whazzup.

Going to give it a try. The git command line is so arcane I can't remember it anyway, so this could only be an improvement.
It won't save you from having to understand git, but it will make life quicker.
