VARIABLES

27       GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
28           The author of a piece of code.
29
30       GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT

32
33       GIT_EDITOR
34           Text editor for use by Git commands. The value is meant to be
35           interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples: ~/bin/vi,
36           $SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE, "C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
37           --nofork. The order of preference is the $GIT_EDITOR environment
38           variable, then core.editor configuration, then $VISUAL, then
39           $EDITOR, and then the default chosen at compile time, which is
40           usually vi.
41
42       GIT_PAGER
43           Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., less). The value is
44           meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference is
45           the $GIT_PAGER environment variable, then core.pager configuration,
46           then $PAGER, and then the default chosen at compile time (usually
47           less).
