GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no by default

Question

In my git (v 1.7.10.2), I have to do the following in my terminal:

 GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no
 export GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT

So, everytime I merge, I am not force to put a message.

Where should I put this, so by default it gets this set up and I don't have to type it everytime I open the terminal in my MAC?

Answer 1

You can put it in:

.bash_profile

Open a terminal

nano $HOME/.bash_profile

and add the line

export GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no

Don't forget to open a new terminal for this to work.
