How to set sublime text 3 as a default editor in git

Question

I am having problems with setting sublime 3 as my default editor in git. I found some solutions on stackoverflow but I couldn't do it for some reason. Can anyone help me with it from the start to the end. Should I set any environment variables in order to make it work ? Thanks

this is taken from the github help page:

git config --global core.editor "subl -n -w"
