I did some vimtutor and put some text in the thing and then :wq to save it and then it says:

fatal: There was a problem with the editor vi.


A fantastic descriptive error if ever I did see one.

can someone tell me how the heck to make vim go? Or better yet how to hack git to use TextMate or Coda instead?

Basically what you need to do is fork the project, add your changes,
commit, and send me a pull request.  The "pull request" is just a
message that you have some changes to pick up.  It's like putting up
the little flag on your mailbox to tell the mailman to stop by.

First off, go here: http://github.com/why/camping/tree/master.
And click the "fork" button.

From there, you'll need to do the rest from a console:

$ git clone [EMAIL PROTECTED]:Bluebie/camping.git
$ cd camping
# ... make your changes ...

$ git commit -a
# ... saves your changes ...

$ git push
# ... sends your changes to github ...

And then, you can just send me a pull request.  Go to your camping
page: http://github.com/Bluebie/camping/tree/master.  Click on "pull
request" and explain the change.

You're going to love it.
