body: <p>How do I use Notepad++ (or any other editor besides vim) with msysgit?</p>
  
  <p>I tried all of the following to no avail:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global core.editor C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
  
  git config --global core.editor "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"
  
  git config --global core.editor C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe
  
  git config --global core.editor C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe
  </code></pre>
