This function provides a simple and clean interface to git. Not only does it execute git commands it also allows you to specify a which text editor should be launched in the case that one is needed by git.

% GIT - use GIT from matlab, using standard GIT commands
%
% Examples:
% % initialize a repository
% >> git init;
%
% % add a file to the repository
% >> git add myFile.m % begin tracking my_function.m
%
% % commit changes to the repository
% >> git commit myFile.m -m 'initial checkin of myFile.m'
%
% % push to another repository
% >> git push origin master
%
%
% Commands that require additionall input (such as commits without -m flags)
% will generally fail unless the environment variable EDITOR is defined. However,
% a preferred text editor can be specified within Matlab using the global
% variable GIT_EDITOR (Pro-tip: include this code in your startup.m file)
% For Example:
%
% Declare the global variable
% >> global GIT_EDITOR;
%
% For linux:
% >> GIT_EDITOR = '/path/to/editor'; % provide the complete path
%
% For Mac OSX:
% >> GIT_EDITOR = 'TextEdit'; % Simply provide the application name
%
