title: git revert HEAD is opening the nano editor. How can I avoid this?
body: <p>Whenever I try to revert a commit using git revert, terminal opens up the nano editor. The revert goes through, but I have to esc out of nano. Is there a way to prevent git from doing that?</p>
  
  <p>On a similar note, is there a way to prevent git from forcing me to add a message whenever I commit something?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
