I accidentally set my git editor to Atom, how can I revert it to Git Bash? [duplicate]

Question

So I encountered an error that said "Please enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary, especially if it merges an updated upstream into a topic branch" and I found a solution to it in this thread.

However one of the answers said, your text editor is the issue so change it to atom, and without knowing how to use an editor in Atom I changed the git editor to Atom via this code:

git config --global core.editor "atom --wait"

I was using Git Bash, and I wanted to return to that as my core editor, but I can't seem to find a way on how I can do that.

P.S. I am a few days into Git, so pardon any elementary mistakes I make.

Answer 1

Try this:

git config --global --unset-all core.editor
