It's GIT_EDITOR first, then EDITOR if GIT_EDITOR is not set.

Yes, but EDITOR is also read by a lot of other tools. And if you want to use a particular editor with git, and didn’t know about EDITOR, you probably want to set EDITOR so that when other tools open an editor it will be the same one.

But if you already have that and want something specific and different for just git then yeah GIT_EDITOR.
