VARIABLES

interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples: ~/bin/vi,

--nofork. The order of preference is the $GIT_EDITOR environment
variable, then core.editor configuration, then $VISUAL, then
$EDITOR, and then finally vi.
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 finally less.
