    `C:\Users\acct\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe: No such file or directory` It says no such file or directory. Did you install it there (typically at `C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe`)? If not, why is that the directory? If you set the absolute path in your .gitconfig all you need to use is `code -w` – soulshined Jul 20 '20 at 22:08
  • @soulshined Good catch. VSC is not installed there and I don't know where that is coming from. What exactly should I add to .gitconfig and where do I use code -w? Thanks. – Mitch Jul 20 '20 at 22:38

    So you have not added anything to a `.gitconfig` file? And you are using the integrated terminal? – soulshined Jul 20 '20 at 22:39
  • @soulshined I've not added anything to .gitconfig and I am using the integrated terminal. Note that I quit VSC and ran the command from Powershell and encountered the same error. HOWEVER, I was able to successfully run git revert from Bash. – Mitch Jul 20 '20 at 22:41
  • hmmm very interesting considering not setting anything in gitconfig. Don't think it's vscode related then. Not sure I am much help at this point. – soulshined Jul 20 '20 at 22:43
  • Oh sorry I missed your initial question @mitch you can see if adding `editor = code -w` to your gitconfig works, perferably global, but can be at repo level. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2596805/how-do-i-make-git-use-the-editor-of-my-choice-for-commits) for example – soulshined Jul 20 '20 at 22:47
  • The commits work fine, so I don't think it's an editor issue. In the registry I changed the references to C:\Users\acct\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe to the installed path and restarted. Now I get a different error message: – Mitch Jul 21 '20 at 00:06

Add b.txt hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths hint: with 'git add ' or 'git rm ' hint: and commit the result with 'git commit' @soulshined – Mitch Jul 21 '20 at 00:07
