Standard git config options

Tips:

Use --global to set options globally (for all repos) for the current user.
Use --system (via sudo or su) to set options for all users.

TL;DR

git config --global core.editor "nano"

This is intended for copying/pasting as the first comment to all Gist entries I create. It's unfortunate that GitHub doesn't support notifying creators and participants in the feedback process for Gists, but this is at least something I can do to let potential viewers know that I'm not intentionally ignoring them.

As of the time this Gist entry was created, GitHub does not support notifications for comments for mentions to Gist entries (see isaacs/github#21 for details). Please contact me via Twitter or file an issue in the deoren/leave-feedback repo (created for that very purpose) if you wish to receive a response for your feedback. Thank you in advance!
