Answer by miqh for How to use Visual Studio Code as default editor for git?

I opened up my .gitconfig and amended it with:

[core]    editor = 'C:/Users/miqid/AppData/Local/Code/app-0.1.0/Code.exe'

That did it for me (I'm on Windows 8).

However, I noticed that after I tried an arbitrary git commit that in my Git Bash console I see the following message:

[9168:0504/160114:INFO:renderer_main.cc(212)] Renderer process started

Unsure of what the ramifications of this might be.
