Git can no longer open emacs as its editor
- by mwilliams
I'm running Git version 1.7.3.2 that I built from source, zsh is my shell, and emacs is my editor.
Recently I started seeing the following:
/usr/local/Cellar/git/1.7.3.2/libexec/git-core/git-sh-setup: line 106: emacs: command not found
Could not execute editor
My zshrc looks like the following so I can use the Cocoa build and the console binary provided with it.
EMACS_HOME="/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS"
function e() { PATH=$EMACS_HOME/bin:$PATH $EMACS_HOME/Emacs -nw $@ }
function ec() { PATH=$EMACS_HOME/bin:$PATH emacsclient -t $@ }
function es() { e --daemon=$1 && ec -s $1 }
function el() { ps ax|grep Emacs }
function ek() { $EMACS_HOME/bin/emacsclient -e '(kill-emacs)' -s $1 }
function ecompile() {
e -eval "(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name \".\") load-path))" \
-batch -f batch-byte-compile $@
}
alias emacs=e
alias emacsclient=ec
And I also have
export EDITOR="emacs"
and have tried adding
export GIT_EDITOR="emacs"
(and swapping that out with "e")
But whatever I try I can't get git to open emacs whenever I need to do a commit or an interactive rebase, etc etc...
