How to solve the Git commit -a error

Question

When I try to commit git changes and run the following command:

git commit -a

I get the following error

gvim -f: gvim: command not found
error: There was a problem with the editor 'gvim -f'.

Answer 1

This happens when no editor is set. You can use a ‘-m’ option so you don’t have to use an editor.

git commit -a -m 'committing all files'
