In Magit, how can I cancel a git process that is taking too long?
If I did something like git push from a terminal, I could press control-C to cancel. How can I do this from Magit?

You can use M-x magit-process-kill in the Magit process buffer ($, or M-x magit-process-buffer jumps to process buffer for the current repository).
magit-process-kill is an interactive Lisp closure in `magit-process.el'.
(magit-process-kill)
Kill the process at point.

Type $ in the Magit Status buffer to open Magit's process buffer , and then kill this buffer. Emacs will ask you whether to kill the process.

M-: (kill-process)to do so without killing the buffer. See also stackoverflow.com/q/10627289– philsFeb 18, 2016 at 11:28 -

Although this does work, I don't want to lose my history of underlying git commands.– tboyce12Feb 18, 2016 at 23:30

M-x list-processes, select the process to be killed (with the cursor or the mouse), press the letterdto delete the process at point.
