Change Git Global Config to the Correct Info
This sets your default Git identity for all new commits from now on:
1git config --global user.name "your username"
2git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
You can double-check it worked with:
1git config --global --list
Set Git Default Editor
Run one of the following commands in your terminal, replacing editor-command with your preferred editor:
- For Vim (default in many systems):
1git config --global core.editor "vim"
- For VS Code
1git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
Verify Settings
Check your configured editor with:
1git config --global core.editor
Remove the Setting (If Needed)
1git config --global --unset core.editor
