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>

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

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

@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.
