Visual Studio Text Editor For Mac
When using git at the command line, I am wondering if it is possible to use Visual Studio Code as the default editor, i.e. When creating commit comments, and looking at a diff of a file from the command line. I understand that it won't be possible to use it for doing merges (at least at the minute) but does anyone know if it is possible to use it for looking at diff's, and if so, what command line options would be required in the.gitconfig file to make this happen? UPDATE 1: I have tried an approach similar to what I have done for, i.e.
May 5, 2018 - This articles describes the various options that can be used to modify the text editor behavior in Visual Studio for Mac. At its Build developer conference, Microsoft today announced the launch of Visual Studio Code, a lightweight cross-platform code editor for writing modern web and cloud applications that will run.
To fix it, create a new folder with a simpler name (we suggest using only letters, numbers and spaces), then drag your mail to that folder. '\'outlook 2016 for mac\' when i try to send, i get a signin window for \'gmail\''.
#!/bin/sh 'c:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin '$*' And used: #!/bin/sh 'C: Users gep13 AppData Local Code app-0.1.0 Code.exe' '$*' But this results in an error message: C: temp testrepo [master +1 ~0 -0]> git commit [8660:0504/084217:ERROR:crash_reporter_win.cc(70)] Cannot initialize out-of-process crash handler Aborting commit due to empty commit message. C: temp testrepo [master +1 ~0 -0]> Code opens up correctly, with the expected content, but it isn't waiting on the response, i.e. Clicking save and closing the window to return to prompt. UPDATE 2: I have just heard back from one of the developers working on VSCode. Looks like this functionality currently isn't supported:-( If you are interested in seeing this feature get added, you might want to think about adding your votes here: UPDATE 3: I have been that this feature has been picked up by the VSCode team, so I am looking forward to a future release that will include it. UPDATE 4: Thanks to @f-boucheros comment below, I have been able to get VS Code working as the default editor for commit comments, rebase, etc.
I would still like to see if it is possible to use it as the diff tool as well. UPDATE 5: As per the accepted answer for the question, this is now possible using the V1.0 release of code. In the most recent release (v1.0, released in March 2016), you are now able to. Quoted from the documentations: • Make sure you can run code --help from the command line and you get help. • if you do not see help, please follow these steps: • Mac: Select Shell Command: Install 'Code' command in path from the Command Palette. • Windows: Make sure you selected Add to PATH during the installation. • Linux: Make sure you installed Code via our new.deb or.rpm packages.
• From the command line, run git config --global core.editor 'code --wait' Now you can run git config --global -e and use VS Code as editor for configuring Git. Add the following to enable support for using VS Code as diff tool: [diff] tool = default-difftool [difftool 'default-difftool'] cmd = code --wait --diff $LOCAL $REMOTE This leverages the new --diff option you can pass to VS Code to compare two files side by side. To summarize, here are some examples of where you can use Git with VS Code: • git rebase HEAD~3 -i allows to interactive rebase using VS Code • git commit allows to use VS Code for the commit message • git add -p followed by e for interactive add • git difftool ^ allows to use VS Code as diff editor for changes. For what I understand, VSCode is not in AppData anymore. So Set the default git editor by executing that command in a command prompt window: git config --global core.editor 'C: Program Files (x86) Microsoft VS Code code.exe' -w' The parameter -w, --wait is to wait for window to be closed before returning.
