git rebase could not execute editor
git, git-config, linux, ubuntu
Solution
Do something like that
$ git config --global core.editor emacs
where emacs paste name of your editor
Problem
I'm attempting to squash some git commits using rebase. When I run this: ``` git rebase -i HEAD ``` I get this error: ``` /usr/lib/git-core/git-rebase: 1: eval: /usr/bin/mate: not found Could not execute editor ``` I've attempted to change the git config editor variable but I haven't gotten it to work. Right now my config file shows the following: ``` [core] editor = /usr/bin/vim ``` I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 Any ideas?
