Making VSCode your Git editor and diff tool
To set Visual Studio Code as your default editor enter this command into command line:
git config --global -e
[user]
email = [email protected]
name = YourName
signingKey = ""
[core]
longpaths = true
autocrlf = true
safecrlf = warn
editor = code --wait
[gpg]
program = gpg
[commit]
gpgSign = false
[tag]
forceSignAnnotated = false
By the way switch --wait
holds shell until Visual Studio Code is closed. Make sure [core] has the editor as code.
Making VS Code your Diff Tool
To set Visual Studio Code as your difftool
, you need to go into global git config file. Which you can access through previous mentioned command git config --global -e
, then you need to add those entries (or replace existing ones).
[diff]
tool = vscode
[difftool "vscode"]
cmd = code --wait --diff $LOCAL $REMOTE
