如何让 Git 使用我选择的编辑器进行提交？

How do I make Git use the editor of my choice for commits?

提问by brasskazoo

I would prefer to write my commit messages in Vim, but it is opening them in Emacs.

我更喜欢在 Vim 中编写我的提交消息，但它在 Emacs 中打开它们。

How do I configure Git to always use Vim? Note that I want to do this globally, not just for a single project.

如何配置 Git 以始终​​使用 Vim？请注意，我想在全局范围内执行此操作，而不仅仅是针对单个项目。

If you want to set the editor onlyfor Git, do either (you don't need both):

如果你想设置的编辑只对Git的，要么做（你不需要两者）：

• Set core.editorin your Git config: git config --global core.editor "vim"
• Set the GIT_EDITORenvironment variable: export GIT_EDITOR=vim

• core.editor在您的 Git 配置中设置：git config --global core.editor "vim"
• 设置GIT_EDITOR环境变量：export GIT_EDITOR=vim

If you want to set the editor for Git and also other programs, set the standardized VISUALand EDITORenvironment variables*:

如果要为 Git和其他程序设置编辑器，请设置标准化VISUAL和EDITOR环境变量*：

export VISUAL=vim
export EDITOR="$VISUAL"

_{* Setting both is not necessarily needed, but some programs may not use the more-correct VISUAL. See VISUALvs. EDITOR.}

_{* 不一定需要同时设置，但有些程序可能不使用更正确的VISUAL. 见VISUAL与EDITOR.}

For Sublime Text: Add this to the .gitconfig. The --waitis important (it allows to type text in sublime and will wait for save/close event.)

对于 Sublime Text：将其添加到.gitconfig. 该--wait是很重要的（它允许在崇高键入文本并等待保存/关闭事件。）

[core]
    editor = 'subl' --wait

'subl' can be replaced by the full path of the executable but is usually available when correctly installed.

'subl' 可以替换为可执行文件的完整路径，但通常在正确安装时可用。

Copy paste this:

复制粘贴这个：

git config --global core.editor "vim"

In case you'd like to know what you're doing. From man git-commit:

如果你想知道你在做什么。来自man git-commit：

ENVIRONMENT AND CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

The editor used to edit the commit log message will be chosen from the GIT_EDITORenvironment variable, the core.editorconfiguration variable, the VISUALenvironment variable, or the EDITORenvironment variable (in that order).

环境和配置变量

用于编辑提交日志消息的编辑器将从GIT_EDITOR环境变量、core.editor配置变量、VISUAL环境变量或EDITOR环境变量（按此顺序）中选择。

On Ubuntu and also Debian (thanks @MichielB) changing the default editor is also possible by running:

在 Ubuntu 和 Debian（感谢 @MichielB）上，也可以通过运行以下命令来更改默认编辑器：

sudo update-alternatives --config editor

Which will prompt the following:

这将提示以下内容：

There are 4 choices for the alternative editor (providing /usr/bin/editor).

  Selection    Path                Priority   Status

In windows 7, while adding the "Sublime" editor it was still giving me an error:

在 Windows 7 中，在添加“Sublime”编辑器时，它仍然给我一个错误：

Aborting commit due to empty commit message.

由于空提交消息而中止提交。

Sublime was not able to keep the focus.

Sublime 无法保持焦点。

To fix this I opened the .gitconfig file in c:/users/username/ folder and added the following line with --wait option outside the double quotes.

为了解决这个问题，我在 c:/users/username/ 文件夹中打开了 .gitconfig 文件，并在双引号外添加了以下带有 --wait 选项的行。

[core]
      editor = 'F:/Program Files/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe' --wait

Hope its helpful to somebody facing similar issue with Sublime.

希望它对面临与 Sublime 类似问题的人有所帮助。

Atom as your git editor

Atom 作为您的 git 编辑器

git config --global core.editor "atom --wait"

Atom needs to be configured to run from the command line for the above to work:

OS X: install shell commands from Atom: menu bar > Atom > Install Shell Commands

Windows: no action required - atom is configured to run from the command line by default

Atom 需要配置为从命令行运行才能使上述工作正常运行：

OS X：从 Atom 安装 shell 命令：菜单栏 > Atom > 安装 Shell 命令

Windows：不需要任何操作 - 默认情况下，原子被配置为从命令行运行

Windows: setting notepad as the default commit message editor

Windows：将记事本设置为默认提交消息编辑器

git config --global core.editor notepad.exe

Hit Ctrl+Sto save your commit message. To discard, just close the notepad window without saving.

点击Ctrl+S以保存您的提交消息。要丢弃，只需关闭记事本窗口而不保存。

In case you hit the shortcut for save, then decide to abort, go to File->Save as, and in the dialog that opens, change "Save as type" to "All files (*.*)". You will see a file named "COMMIT_EDITMSG". Delete it, and close notepad window.

如果您点击了保存的快捷方式，然后决定中止，请转到文件->另存为，然后在打开的对话框中，将“保存类型”更改为“所有文件（*.*）”。您将看到一个名为“COMMIT_EDITMSG”的文件。删除它，并关闭记事本窗口。

Edit:Alternatively, and more easily, delete all the contents from the open notepad window and hit save. (thanks mwfearnleyfor the comment!)

编辑：或者，更轻松地，从打开的记事本窗口中删除所有内容并点击保存。（感谢mwfearnley的评论！）

I think for small write-ups such as commit messages notepad serves best, because it is simple, is there with windows, opens up in no time. Even your sublime may take a second or two to get fired up when you have a load of plugins and stuff.

我认为对于像提交消息这样的小文章，记事本最适合，因为它很简单，有窗口，很快就会打开。当你有大量的插件和东西时，即使你的 sublime 也可能需要一两秒钟才能启动。
