# GitPad - Use Notepad as your Git commit editor

This single executable allows you to use Notepad as your editor any time Git

requires one (commits, interactive rebase, etc).

## How to install (short version)

[Click This Link](https://github.com/github/GitPad/releases/download/v1.4.0/Gitpad.zip)

## Notepad sucks! What about $FAVORITE\_EDITOR instead?

Good news! As of GitPad 1.2, the default editor will be whatever editor is

associated with .txt files. Normally, that's Notepad, but if you like a different

editor, you can now use that instead.

## How to install (long version)

Just copy GitPad.exe to a folder and double-click on it. It will install

itself into your Application Data directory (%AppData%) - if your default

editor is not set, GitPad.exe will set itself to EDITOR via setting an

Environment Variable on your user profile.

## What do I need to use this?

GitPad requires .NET 2.0 or higher.

## How to uninstall

Remove HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\EDITOR from the registry and reboot your

system.
