Question

Answer 1

A:

You only see terminal and TextMate examples because TextMate provides a terminal program to interface with it from the command line. If Smultron provides a similar program, you can use it the same way you use "mate." If not, then you can't make Smultron work with core.editor.

Do you know of any other text editors that have such a command?

Answer 2

+3 A:

You can open a file in Smultron with open

Example

git config core.editor "open -nW -a Smultron"

EDIT

Added the -nW parameters to have a new Smultron open and wait for it to close

This opens Smultron, though git quits early and returns:"Aborting commit due to empty commit message."

Added the -nW to fix this

Also --global would be a good idea otherwise you risk setting the editor just for the current project.

Thanks! Worked perfectly.And it appears Smultron has no more support in development. Hmf.
