The editor program used by Git when editing the sequencer "todo" file
is determined by examining a few environment variables and also
affected by configuration variables. Introduce "git var
GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR" to give users access to the final result of the
logic without having to know the exact details.
This is very similar in spirit to 44fcb497 (Teach git var about
GIT_EDITOR, 2009-11-11) that introduced "git var GIT_EDITOR".

GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT::
|
|

|
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT::
|
|

|
|
|
|
GIT_EDITOR::
|
|
Text editor for use by Git commands. The value is meant to be
|
|
interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples: `~/bin/vi`,
|
|
`$SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE`, `"C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
|
|
--nofork`. The order of preference is the `$GIT_EDITOR`
|
|
environment variable, then `core.editor` configuration, then
|
|
`$VISUAL`, then `$EDITOR`, and then the default chosen at compile
|
|
time, which is usually 'vi'.
|
|
ifdef::git-default-editor[]
|
|
The build you are using chose '{git-default-editor}' as the default.
|
|
endif::git-default-editor[]
|
|
|
|
GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR::
|
|
Text editor used to edit the 'todo' file while running `git rebase
|
|
-i`. Like `GIT_EDITOR`, the value is meant to be interpreted by
|
|
the shell when it is used. The order of preference is the
|
|
`$GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR` environment variable, then
|
|
`sequence.editor` configuration, and then the value of `git var
|
|
GIT_EDITOR`.
|
|
|
|
GIT_PAGER::
|
|
Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less'). The value
|
|
is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference
|
|
is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
|
|
configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
|
|
compile time (usually 'less').
|
|
ifdef::git-default-pager[]
|
|
The build you are using chose '{git-default-pager}' as the default.
|
|
endif::git-default-pager[]
|
|
