Add rebase tool, download here: https://github.com/MitMaro/git-interactive-rebase-tool
Place it in .git folder in User Profile folder.
Edit .gitconfig, if using Git Bash in Windows:

[sequence]
	editor = "winpty /c/Users/{Username}/.git/interactive-rebase-tool.exe"

Very useful! Thanks. You don't have a [credential] section. Do you know how that would be used?

I found it:

[credential]
	helper = cache

# same as above, but pass an argument to the helper
[credential]
	helper = "cache --timeout=3600"

Important you need both stanzas for it to work.

I just regret that I didn't know this repo.
This is incredible, thanks a lot!

Thanks! Also, if you know, what kind of format is this? I've seen it around (e.g. .aws/config file for aws cli) but I haven't come across the name for it.

According to the documentation, there is no specific "standard" .gitconfig format. It's just a list defined by brackets and indents that Git expects to see. The closest related filetype would be a .ini file. Although similar, they still have distinct qualities that define the difference, especially in the subsections and when using values with quotations.

.gitconfig files are not difficult to edit; simply remember 1.) Sections & comments are never indented. 2.) All other lines are evenly indented (anything between 2 and 6 spaces is okay in my experience); the important point is to make them all the same width. If you prefer, use sed or awk on the Unix/Linux command line to make edits more effectively.

I'm trying to find the full list of options I can use inside the .gitconfig file. Where I can find those?

This can be a good start: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration
