VARIABLES
GIT_AUTHOR_IDENTThe author of a piece of code.
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT
The person who put a piece of code into
Git.
GIT_EDITOR
Text editor for use by Git commands. The value
is meant to be interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples:
~/bin/vi, $SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE, "C:\Program
Files\Vim\gvim.exe" --nofork. The order of preference is the
$GIT_EDITOR environment variable, then core.editor
configuration, then $VISUAL, then $EDITOR, and then the default
chosen at compile time, which is usually vi. The build you are using
chose editor as the default.
GIT_PAGER
Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g.,
less). The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of
preference is the $GIT_PAGER environment variable, then
core.pager configuration, then $PAGER, and then the default
chosen at compile time (usually less). The build you are using chose
pager as the default.
GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH
The name of the first branch created in newly
initialized repositories.
