Also, if vim isn’t in the current directory, that command wouldn’t even work.

By the way, the global alternative would be echo "export EDITOR=vim" >> /etc/profile

Thats a good alternative, if you don’t have root access or don’t want to make the change globally.

$> echo “export EDITOR=vim” >> $HOME/.bashrc

Works for me.

Cheers.
