I am using git version 2.7.0.windows.1 on a windows pc, I used the following command:
$ nano README
which results me:
bash: nano: command not found
Now how can I install nano text editor to git bash?
Little modification of the previous solution (@Simopaa) is worked for me on Windows 10 (without Chocolatey):
Move the nano-git-xxx.exe
to (for example) C:\Program Files\Git\bin
.
Modify the .gitconfig
file with the following (single and double quotes are important):
[core]
editor = "winpty '/c/Program Files/Git/bin/nano-git-0d9a7347243.exe'"
(Optional step) Make nano
available for editing in general:
Create or edit the one of the startup script of bash (e.g. ~/.bash_profile
) with the followings:
export PATH="/c/Program Files/Git/bin:$PATH"
alias nano="winpty nano"
