Git commit on a windows box?

#1

I saw the post about using Sublime for git commit messages on a Mac. Does anyone know how to set this up for a Windows box - Vista? (using latest service pack). A step-by-step would be very helpful at this point.

I’m a bit new to Git, but am familiar with Tortoise. Definitely new to Sublime, but like it very much so far. Thanks.

I find git complicated but useful :smile: I’d like to get a working commit build package or something.

No takers on this question? Any Sublime developers have the solution? If you know how to do this, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.

I don’t know if the -w command works as a command-line parameter for sublime_text.exe, but if it does you should be able to set up git to use Sublime Text pretty easily by setting your core.editor to “sublime_text.exe -w”, assuming that sublime_text.exe is in your PATH.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try and let all know if it works.

-w isn’t supported on Windows yet, but it will be supported on Linux in the next version, FWIW.
