“git config --edit --global”说-找不到命令

Question

I have been trying to access the Eclipse IDE through the above command line (after setting my username and email with git config --global user.name and git config --global user.email respectively) and every time I do, it shows me the following on the command line:

It keeps saying "command not found" .

I have tried making changes through environmental variables but it still did not work.

It's not a problem with git itself. The problem in on the first line in your picture git config --global core.editor "code --wait --new-window"

It changes your default editor, but code is not reachable. Verify if you have Visual studio code installed, or change the editor to something else. You shouldn't need such heavy editor to edit your gitconfig to be honest.

If you are sure that you have VSC installed, check your PATH variable echo $PATH to find out if the path to VSC is there.
