+# Git Escape Magic
+
+This plugin is copied from the original at
+https://github.com/knu/zsh-git-escape-magic. All credit for the
+functionality enabled by this plugin should go to @knu.
+
+An excerpt from that project's readme explains its purpose.
+
+> It eliminates the need for manually escaping those meta-characters. The zle function it provides is context aware and recognizes the characteristics of each subcommand of git. Every time you type one of these meta-characters on a git command line, it automatically escapes the meta-character with a backslash as necessary and as appropriate.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use this plugin, add it to your list of plugins in your `.zshrc` file.
+
+**NOTE**: If you use url-quote-magic, it must be included before this
+plugin runs to prevent any conflicts.
