We now tell students to configure git to use their preferred text editor but don't show them how this works in practice. It would probably be useful to get them to make a commit and edit the message with this editor. If they've never used nano before, it might throw them, I think it'd be worth doing this step separately, so they don't just encounter it the first time they forget a --no-edit flag.
