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

(如果要设置只对Git的编辑器，你要么（你不需要两者）：)

• Set core.editor in your Git config: git config --global core.editor "vim"

  (在您的Git配置中设置core.editor ： git config --global core.editor "vim")

• Set the GIT_EDITOR environment variable: export GIT_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 VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables*:

(如果要为Git 和其他程序设置编辑器，请设置标准化的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 .}

(_{*不必同时设置两者，但是某些程序可能未使用更正确的VISUAL 。})

_{See VISUAL vs. EDITOR .}

(_{参见VISUAL vs. EDITOR 。})

For Sublime Text : Add this to the .gitconfig .

(对于Sublime Text ：将其添加到.gitconfig 。)

The --wait is important (it allows to type text in sublime and will wait for save/close event.)

(--wait很重要（它允许在sublime中键入文本，并将等待保存/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.

(可以用可执行文件的完整路径替换“ subl”，但通常在正确安装后才可用。)
