git emacsclient issues

Question

I set my editor variable like so:

git config --global core.editor "`which emacsclient` -t -s"

and get this output whenever I want to edit the message during a commit

emacsclient: aliased to /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -t -s :      
emacsclient:: command not found
error: There was a problem with the editor 'emacsclient: aliased to
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -t -s '.
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.

Answer 1

Did you checked the output ofwhich emacsclient command? I bet it is

emacsclient: aliased to /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient

Anyway, your global git config is located ~/.gitconfig file, so you can check and edit it.

Answer 2

Setting the full path "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -t -s" and not the alias to be the editor worked for me.
