Change default editor on Ubuntu
On Windows, when doing stuff like git merge
in terminal, my editor is Vim. On Ubuntu default editor is Nano. This is how to change it:

TL;DR:
sudo update-alternatives --config editor
Note: entering this command directly in Ubuntu terminal from Windows didn’t work (update-alternatives
command not found). I had to open VS Code in WSL2 and enter it via integrated terminal.
