Git in Emacs with Magit

I use git-messenger, git-timemachine, and Magit in a custom Hydra binding. As described in my Basic Emacs Coding Config, I use git for my source code management, and Magit is a really top-notch frontend for it. It exposes nearly all Git functionality on mnemonic keybindings.

(use-package git-timemachine)
(use-package git-messenger)
(use-package magit
  :after (git-timemachine git-messenger)
  :config 
  (defhydra hydra-magit (global-map "C-c g" :color teal :hint nil)
    "
