Setup default editor

I there any way to configure a default editor?
My default editor is vim, but gh is still using nano.

A configuration option to choose default editor like git.`

gh config editor "vim"

👋 gh respects GITHUB_EDITOR, EDITOR, and VISUAL environment variables in that order. are those defined?

@vilmibm

The variables were not configured.
I configured them and I can already use vim as editor.

Thanks @safv12! We also have a documentation task in #308, so I'm going to close this. Appreciate the issue!

If it helps others, gh does not respect GITHUB_EDITOR at the time of this writing.

gh does respect GIT_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR, which follows the git documentation at https://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Environment-Variables.
