## How to make commits with Sublime Text
For the following options, you'll need to use the appropriate command from below:
**Note:** for Windows, you must have `Build 3065` or later to have command line support.
- Mac / Linux: `subl -w`
- Windows: `subl.exe -w`
### Preferred method: edit `.bashrc`
This will allow for more editing options than just the git commit, like editing diffs. This also leaves flexibility as it can be easily overridden, by the `.gitconfig` for example.
Add the following to your `.bashrc`:
On Mac and Linux:
```bash
export EDITOR="subl -w"
```
### Alternate method: Amend your `.gitconfig`
You can run the following command to let git update your `.gitconfig`
```bash
git config --global core.editor 'subl -w'
```
Or add the following line manually to your `.gitconfig`
```ini
[core]
editor = 'subl -w'
```
