Hi,
I have git extensions installed, but when I return to use git directly from the command line, it launches the git-extensions editor instead of my own editor. For example:

stephenr@STEPHENRLAP /d/dev_future/git_master (loginact)
$ echo $EDITOR
vim

But git commit and git config --global -e open the git-extensions editor, and not vim.

How can I turn this behaviour off and get git to use the editor I specify?

Thanks
Stephen

You can edit this in the settings dialog, tab global settings. Just select the editor you want or select nothing to use the default.

Henk
