Configure git editor

config-editor.md

Set which editor git should use.

This is the program that will open during a commit with no -m flag, a merge, a rebase, etc...

Select from any installed editor. Examples:

• emacs: emacs
• vi: vi or vim
• atom: atom --wait
• sublime: subl -n -w
• vscode: code --wait

Run: $ $ git config --global core.editor <YOUR_EDITOR>

The vscode settings above are not enough. You need to edit the config directly and set the path to the application. See this stackoverflow. https://stackoverflow.com/a/35782566/2066978

@jdkahn you are right! vscode does not work with the above setting.

@nnja I think you need quotes around <YOUR_EDITOR> (at least I did for vscode):

$ git config --global core.editor "code --wait"

@mjlyons you're right thanks

;) Thank you guys

@jdkahn If you're installed vscode with an executable on the path, you don't have to set full path to vscode in git config.
