GIT_EDITOR
-
Text editor for use by Git commands. The value is meant to be
interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples: ~/bin/vi,
$SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE, "C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
--nofork. The order of preference is the $GIT_EDITOR
environment variable, then core.editor configuration, then
$VISUAL, then $EDITOR, and then the default chosen at compile
time, which is usually vi.
-
GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR
-
Text editor used to edit the todo file while running git rebase
-i. Like GIT_EDITOR, the value is meant to be interpreted by
the shell when it is used. The order of preference is the
$GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable, then
sequence.editor configuration, and then the value of git var
GIT_EDITOR.
-
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 the default chosen at
compile time (usually less).

The path to the system configuration file, if one is enabled.
-
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL

The path to the global (per-user) configuration files, if any.
Most path values contain only one value. However, some can contain multiple
values, which are separated by newlines, and are listed in order from highest to
lowest priority. Callers should be prepared for any such path value to contain
multiple items.
Note that paths are printed even if they do not exist, but not if they are
disabled by other environment variables.
