    7474It is best to modify your shell startup files to set the `VISUAL` or `EDITOR` environment variables. Git requires no configuration to use them, and they can be used by other programs too.
     75{{{
     76#!sh
     77# Bourne shell (sh) and relatives
     78export VISUAL
     79VISUAL=nano
     80}}}
     81{{{
     82#!csh
     83# C shell (csh) and relatives
     84setenv VISUAL nano
     85}}}

    7687If for some reason you want to override `VISUAL`/`EDITOR` and use a different editor with Git, you can specify it in `$HOME/.gitconfig`:
    7788{{{
     89#!sh
    7890$ git config --global core.editor ed
