I use the mate command for the editor for lots of things. However, I did not tell Git to use it specifically in it's configuration. Instead I set the EDITOR environment variable in ~/.profile like so: export EDITOR='mate --wait' Git will respect the EDITOR variable. To remove the configuration from Git you can remove that configuration from your ~/.gitconfig file. But, before doing any of the above make sure the mate command line tool is enabled.
