GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
- The author of a piece of code.
- GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT
- The person who put a piece of code into git.

The order of preference is the $GIT_EDITOR environment variable, then core.editor configuration, then $VISUAL, then $EDITOR, and then finally vi.
- GIT_PAGER
- Text viewer for use by git commands (e.g., less). The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference is the $GIT_PAGER environment variable, then core.pager configuration, then $PAGER, and then finally less.
