[Solved] How to remove VIM as my Mac editor vs sublime [duplicate]

Question

You don’t have to remove Vim from your machine. Instead, tell your system and your tools to use Sublime Text as default editor. After you have followed that tutorial, which I must point out is part of Sublime Text’s documentation, you should have a system-wide subl command that you can use instead of vim. For that, you need to add those lines to your shell configuration file:

export EDITOR=subl
export VISUAL=subl

which will be honoured by basically every CLI program susceptible to open a file in a text editor.

You can even add the following for good measure:

export GIT_EDITOR=subl
