Note, if using PortableGVim (PortableApps.com), GIT_EDITOR must NOT point to PortableGVim.exe. Git won’t wait for you to finish editing in gVim.

.gitconfig

[core]
  editor = 'D:\\tools\\txt\\gVimPortable\\App\\vim\\vim80\\gvim.exe' -f

NOT editor = 'D:\\tools\\txt\\gVimPortable\\gVimPortable.exe' -f

Check

$git var GIT_EDITOR // show global editor

Also

It’s gVim & Git BTW (proper capitalization)!

gVimPortable (the one from PortableApps.com)does not read _vimrc in the data folder, uses the one in %USERPROFILE%.
