You can use the following command to set Textastic as the editor for git commit:
The "-W" switch makes git wait until Textastic is closed, so you need to quit the app (Cmd-Q) to finish the commit.
If you would leave out the "-W" switch, git would try to commit immediately and you'd get the following error message: "Aborting commit due to empty commit message."
git config --global core.editor "open -a Textastic \"$@\" -W"
The "-W" switch makes git wait until Textastic is closed, so you need to quit the app (Cmd-Q) to finish the commit.
If you would leave out the "-W" switch, git would try to commit immediately and you'd get the following error message: "Aborting commit due to empty commit message."

"-n" opens a new instance of the app.
You can see a documentation of the command line options when you type "man open".
