How to change the default editor in git for beginners

When you decide to use a version control system (VCS) into your project using git And start creating the project
folder and writing the first commands,

Creating the first Repository

$ git init

Now we need to add our file into the Repository

$ git add test_code.js

Now the test_code.js file in the Staging area ( Index )

To get the status of our working tree

$ git status

The last step we need to run $ git commit to captures a snapshot of the project's currently staged changes.

$ git commit

Then the default text editor will run you need to write i letter to start typing the commit message and once you have done you need to click on esc button and input :wq to save and quite ,

Here's the problem if you didn’t familiar with the default Vim or nano text editor you need to add this command to use your favourite text editor,
$ git config --global core.editor "Atom"
i'll use Atom as a text editor.

finally Run this command git commit --amend to recover the commit message by input R then press Enter and run the $ git commit again
