At the risk of angering all the vim-heads (this tip isn’t for anyone who likes vim or even emacs):
editor = "nano -t"
This nano option is aka --saveonexit
Things accomplished:
- avoids using an overpowered modal editor that requires several keystrokes just to save and quit when done writing my couple of sentence commit message
- avoid even having to tell it I want to save. Of course I want to save. ^x - all done
(In the unlikely event you decide you want to abort the commit, just hit ^k a few times to kill the text and then ^x)
(Edit: Updated to the default exit keybinding which is ^x)
