How can I fix git commit error “Waiting for your editor to close the file…” with VS Code?

问题

I'm trying just git commit and Git is giving this message:

hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... /c/Users/AGT/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code: line 28: /Code.exe: No such file or directory error: There was a problem with the editor 'code --wait'. Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.

I'm using, or trying it, VS Code as default and I got this same message with it opened or closed. Commits done through VS Code or by command git commit -m "Initial commit" works fine.
I tried change config path with:

git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
git config --global core.editor "'C:\Users\AGT\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe' -n -w" and the followed variants(these with this change at error message "unexpected EOF while looking for matching"):
C:\Users\AGT\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin
C:\Users\AGT\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code
C:\Users\AGT\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe

No success at all.

The git status is:

    On branch master

No commits yet

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)

        new file:   css/app.css
        new file:   index.html
        new file:   js/app.js

How can I fix that to git commit command through Git BASH works fine with Vs Code? It's seems path issue.

Update info: I tested git commit with Sublime 3 and it works fine.

回答1:

Have you confirmed that code is accessible from the command line where you execute git commands?

You could run code --version

BTW. When I execute where code I get C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code - it's no longer installed in the %App_Data% folder. Howerver, this should be irrelevant if you only specify code --wait without the path.

In other words, here is the procedure I would attempt:

Confirm code --version works in the console you use for git
git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
Change things in you branch and then git commit. Does VS Code start and show COMMIT_EDITMSG file?

回答2:

Putting the name of the editor in double quotes produced this error for me. Put the name of the editor in single quotes, like:

git config --global core.editor 'vi'

Or, try switching to double quotes if you're already using single quotes.

If your in vs code go to your source control tab on the left

then type in your comment, press ctrl & enter

if you do git status it should say nothing to commit, working tree clean..that means it worked

回答4:

It is expecting you to enter the comments regarding the commit you are making enter comment and it should commit the code.

回答5:

For people having Atom as default editor for Git-related stuff

When Atom was a default code editor for it, there was some kind of conflict between Atom and Visual Studio Code. Opening a Terminal in Visual Studio Code and hitting git config --global core.editor "code --wait" solved the problem. Then Visual Studio Code opened a new tab each time I was doing something in the console without crashing.
