Using it

Single use

Use the sequence.editor configuration when rebasing:

git -c sequence.editor=<PATH_TO_BINARY> rebase -i ...

With an alias

Define an alias:

git config --global alias.rebase-i "-c sequence.editor=<PATH_TO_BINARY> rebase -i"

then rebase with:

git rebase-i ...

Permanent use

Set the editor:

git config --global sequence.editor=<PATH_TO_BINARY>

then rebase with:

git rebase -i ...

Platform Specifics

Git Bash

Start the <PATH_TO_BINARY> without / and with drive name.

E.g.: use C:/... instead of /c/....

Cygwin

Cygwin requires the git-interactive-rebase-editor.sh adapter script to ensure that the editor receives a path in Windows format.

1. copy git-interactive-rebase-editor.sh to the same place where the binary is located;
2. in the commands above, for <PATH_TO_BINARY> use the path to git-interactive-rebase-editor.sh instead of the path to the binary.
