Snapshot summary built from the project's own GitHub metadata — there's no written TopGit review yet. The page will update automatically when a full review is published.
WHY NO REVIEW YET
TopGit writes full reviews for the most-starred, most-requested repositories. This page is a snapshot until then — see the READ ME tab for the original README in full.
In Emacs, use M-s r to save the current session into ./.emacs.desktop and ./.emacs.elscreen before exit.
Start hacking on an existing project
$ cd my_project/
$ e
Emacs will try to restore the last session from ./.emacs.desktop and ./.emacs.elscreen, and save current session back into them on exiting. Automatically.
Editing certain files by initializing emacs with explicit parameters will not cause Emacs to restore and save sessions automatically: (unless M-s r is invoked)
$ e README.md src/hello.c
