Best Regards, David ``` ## Erik Cervin Edin, 2022-10-07 07:12 Subject: Re: A possibly mistake on the "Git Commands - Setup and Config page" Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CA%2BJQ7M9082jsYsVtRCocAkXU5-C-%3Dgs3vOvgP8G3CKbyz872KQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, Oct 7, 2022 at 8:12 AM ddady wrote: > > Hi, > > If i'm not mistaken, the path of configuring Notepad++ as default text > editor 64 bit version is: "C:\ProgramFiles\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" Can confirm this seems to be the default path for the 64-bit installer ``` ## Erik Cervin Edin, 2022-10-07 08:17 Subject: Re: A possibly mistake on the "Git Commands - Setup and Config page" Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CA%2BJQ7M8c97GvNH6kXhjpF2BU%3D-5xFdcfaeLqtwBXX3nQn_J80w%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, Oct 7, 2022 at 8:12 AM ddady wrote: > > Hi, > > If i'm not mistaken, the path of configuring Notepad++ as default text > editor 64 bit version is: "C:\ProgramFiles\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" Curiously, if you look in the progit2 repository it appears it's always been this path. This can be confirmed running git log -p --grep 'Notepad++' in the progit2 repository. Perhaps the + characters are being eaten up in the generation of the HTML? I haven't been able to try and confirm. This is issue is probably more appropriately reported in the progit2 repository https://github.com/progit/progit2/issues ``` ## ddady, 2022-10-07 09:44 Subject: Re: A possibly mistake on the "Git Commands - Setup and Config page" Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAApTLm9ME2GAvqa2%2BF7ZL8oLjOEdYPrgC2hP3uZLdypP-1fxAQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` I didn't quite understand.

It was a question? No I mean that I can confirm that this seems to be the default path ``` ## ddady, 2022-10-07 14:57 Subject: Re: A possibly mistake on the "Git Commands - Setup and Config page" Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAApTLm-C_rJOx5LgAk%2BXvZYTzWq5_ceGdVos7WXYQYHYF57tDg%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` I've looked in progit2 repository and under "First-Time Git Setup" : https://github.com/progit/progit2/blob/main/book/01-introduction/sections/first-time-setup.asc It says: In the case of Notepad++, a popular programming editor, you are likely to want to use the 32-bit version, since at the time of writing the 64-bit version doesn’t support all plug-ins. If you are on a 32-bit Windows system, or you have a 64-bit editor on a 64-bit system, you’ll type something like this: $ git config --global core.editor "'C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin" which work perfectly on my computer. i'm using 64 bit ver. I don't know what plug-ins it doesn't support (maybe along the way i'll find out), but as long for open if i commit without the -m flag, it works.
