So changed Git's default editor, now how do i

Question

I've changed Git's default editor by applying the following to Git's global config:

core.editor='C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin

Now, how do I simply invoke the "default editor" without initiating a commit ? I'm trying to test the settings/change I made.

Thanks!

Using Git version 1.8.1

Run

git config -e

To edit the configuration in the default editor.
