Command to open file with git

Question

• I have sublime text as the default editor in git (and it works)
• git config --edit opens the config file in sublime text (Awesome)

Answer 1

Maybe could be useful to open an editor from a script shared in a git repository, without assuming which editor could have anyone will use that script, but only that they have git.

Here you can test if editor is set in git config, and also open files not associated with that editor:

alias editor="$(git config core.editor)"
if [ "$(alias editor | sed -r "s/.*='(.*)'/\1/")" != "" ]; then
    editor 
else
    start 
fi

Works great with my .gitconfig on windows:

[core]
    editor = 'C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin
