Git just uses EDITOR. So, for instance, if you wanted to edit your commit message using nano, run "EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano git commit" Or put "setenv EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano" in your .bashrc to make the change permanent.

Editor Posted Aug 6, 2008 6:40 UTC (Wed) by alex (subscriber, #1355) [Link] I find bringing up emacs each commit can be a pain so I tend to just use the -m switch: git-commit -m "My commit message, maybe over serveral lines" filaA fileB

Editor Posted Aug 6, 2008 8:48 UTC (Wed) by alex (subscriber, #1355) [Link] Sadly I have yet to come up with a solution that works well with all my needs. I tend to run at least one emacs per "project" which is long running as well as temporary ones for commits or editing pages. I suspect I just need to think about rules for starting an emacs server in my .emacs. The other problem is running text mode emacs on remote screen sessions. I don't want to switch to another (v)tty when EDITOR gets invoked. I've heard there is a thing called multi-tty but I have yet to investigate it and it's implications. Pointers to pimped up emacsserver examples are welcomed :-)
Editor Posted Aug 6, 2008 9:04 UTC (Wed) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] What I'd suggest is an interactive function bound to some key which does a gnudoit (? is this the Emacs name?) to stop whatever server exists via (server-start t), then does a (server-start) in the current instance. So then you can switch which emacs your emacsclient invocation talks to with a single keystroke. Alternatively you could set `server-name' on the servers and use the --socket-name argument to emacsclient. There are more elaborate methods but these two should work. I'm afraid as an XEmacs user the multi-tty stuff just works for me ;)
Editor Posted Aug 6, 2008 14:54 UTC (Wed) by newren (subscriber, #5160) [Link] You could just put the commit message in a file and use the -F flag. e.g. git commit -F file-with-commit-message
