What's a good setup for integrating magit with evil mode?

Question

I'm trying to set up magit to work nicely with evil mode. Ideally I'd be able to open the magit-status-mode buffer in normal mode and be able to stage/commit from that buffer with vim-like keybindings.

To open magit-status in normal mode, I have the following:

(evil-set-initial-state 'magit-status-mode 'normal)
(evil-define-key 'normal magit-status-mode-map
  "j" 'magit-goto-next-section
  "k" 'magit-goto-previous-section)

Is there a way to add keybindings to this map for staging/committing files? Or a better way to accomplish my stated goal above than this approach altogether?

Answer 1

evil-magit is certainly a good choice. It is well maintained.
