To follow these instructions in Windows make sure you have installed Git for Windows. (and hope no flags are needed for optimal usage.)īest settings for Sublime Text 3 or 4 as your Git editor (Windows & Linux instructions): If you have a different editor, just replace with the path to your editor, using either method above.
