I'm trying just git commit
and Git is giving this message:
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... /c/Users/AGT/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code: line 28: /Code.exe: No such file or directory error: There was a problem with the editor 'code --wait'. Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.
I'm using, or trying it, VS Code as default and I got this same message with it opened or closed. Commits done through VS Code or by command git commit -m "Initial commit"
works fine.
I tried change config path with:
git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
git config --global core.editor
"'C:\Users\AGT\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe' -n
-w"
and the followed variants(these with this change at error message "unexpected EOF while looking for matching"):No success at all.
The git status is:
On branch master
No commits yet
Changes to be committed:
(use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
new file: css/app.css
new file: index.html
new file: js/app.js
How can I fix that to git commit
command through Git BASH works fine with Vs Code? It's seems path issue.
Update info: I tested git commit
with Sublime 3 and it works fine.
Typing :wq and pressing enter should do it, i.e. save the commit message and exit.
The command to do this is git config --global core. editor "nano" . You can change the highlighted section with your editor of choice!
To add a Git commit message to your commit, you will use the git commit command followed by the -m flag and then your message in quotes. Adding a Git commit message should look something like this: git commit -m “Add an anchor for the trial end sectionnn.”
Have you confirmed that code
is accessible from the command line where you execute git commands?
You could run code --version
BTW. When I execute where code
I get C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code
- it's no longer installed in the %App_Data% folder. However, this should be irrelevant if you only specify code --wait
without the path.
In other words, here is the procedure I would attempt:
code --version
works in the console you use for git
git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
git commit
. Does VS Code start and show COMMIT_EDITMSG file?
Putting the name of the editor in double quotes produced this error for me. Put the name of the editor in single quotes, like:
git config --global core.editor 'vi'
Or, try switching to double quotes if you're already using single quotes.
git config --global core.editor /usr/bin/vim
solved it for me.
