Magit is probably one of the most popular tools for using git in GNU Emacs.  
It is very nice to use and frequently seems to be the envy from users of other  
editors and users of other version control systems.  And honestly I never saw 
a better integration of a version control system into an editor myself.

(And not to forget vc.el which is shipped with GNU Emacs and provides a nice 
interface to all kinds of version control systems, including git and hg.)
