Magit is an interface to the version control system Git, implemented as an Emacs package. Magit aspires to be a complete Git porcelain. While we cannot (yet) claim that Magit wraps and improves upon each and every Git command, it is complete enough to allow even experienced Git users to perform almost all of their daily version control tasks directly from within Emacs. While many fine Git clients exist, only Magit and Git itself deserve to be called porcelains. (more)

User who haven't read the FAQ are frequently surprised that:

• Magit 2.1 and later (aka > 20150701) requires at least Emacs 24.4 and Git 1.9.4.
• The branch manager has moved to y.

When something doesn't work as expected then please first see the FAQ. Then also try the list of open issues and use the search box at the top of that page to find older related issues. You should also consult the manual and ask a general-purpose search engine.

If everything else fails then ask for help on the Emacs Stackexchange site, the mailing list, or the Gitter chat.
