  32VARIABLES
  33----------
  34GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT::
  35    The author of a piece of code.
  36
  37GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT::
  38    The person who put a piece of code into git.
  39
  40GIT_EDITOR::
  41    Text editor for use by git commands.  The value is meant to be
  42    interpreted by the shell when it is used.  Examples: `~/bin/vi`,
  43    `$SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE`, `"C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
  44    --nofork`.  The order of preference is the `$GIT_EDITOR`
  45    environment variable, then `core.editor` configuration, then
  46    `$VISUAL`, then `$EDITOR`, and then the default chosen at compile
  47    time, which is usually 'vi'.
  48
  49GIT_PAGER::
  50    Text viewer for use by git commands (e.g., 'less').  The value
  51    is meant to be interpreted by the shell.  The order of preference
  52    is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
  53    configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
  54    compile time (usually 'less').
