GIT: Setting TextPad as Default Editor

Any GIT users here?

I just started using GIT as a version control system.
I'd like to specify TextPad as the default editor instead of emacs, vi, or vim (I am using a Windows 7 computer.)

Is it simply a matter of executing the following command?

Code: Select all

$ git config --global core.editor textpad

(assuming textpad.exe is the executable that makes TextPad work.)
Or do I also have to do something with Windows path variables and/or the Registry?

Anybody in these forums using TextPad with GIT? I would like to learn how you did it.

Any help is appreciated.
