VARIABLES

26       GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
27           The author of a piece of code.
28
29       GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT
30           The person who put a piece of code into Git.
31
32       GIT_EDITOR
33           Text editor for use by Git commands. The value is meant to be
34           interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples: ~/bin/vi,
35           $SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE, "C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
36           --nofork. The order of preference is the $GIT_EDITOR environment
37           variable, then core.editor configuration, then $VISUAL, then
38           $EDITOR, and then the default chosen at compile time, which is
39           usually vi.
40
41       GIT_PAGER
42           Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., less). The value is
43           meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference is
44           the $GIT_PAGER environment variable, then core.pager configuration,
45           then $PAGER, and then the default chosen at compile time (usually
46           less).
