Git editor aliases are not executed

[cravend]

Describe the bug

A while ago, I aliased vim to nvim as part of my transition into neovim. However, I forgot to update my core.editor git config. Git itself appropriately handles the alias, but when the editor is opened via gh, normal vim opens (without my vim config).

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Alias what core.editor is set to to be something else
2. Trigger an editor opening via gh
3. See that the editor opened is incorrect

Expected vs actual behavior

It opens the correct editor — in my case, neovim. (p.s: I know the solution to my problem is to just edit my .gitconfig, but I wanted to report it nonetheless. This feels like it's tied to #925, but I'm not sure).

@cravend Thanks for opening the issue. This is indeed the same issue as #925. Going to close this as a duplicate, please watch #925 for any further development on the issue.
