To commit all tracked changes, in my fabfile I have:

local("git commit -a")

and in my .zshenv I have:

alias emacs="emacs -nw"
export EDITOR=emacs

However, when I call the fabfile function, it still spawns the GUI version of Emacs (which doesn’t seem to work from terminal). What am I missing to have Fabric and hence Git use my Emacs alias?

    There are too many elements in the chain: fabric, shell etc. Alias can be not in effect in these situations.
    Why don’t you simply issue this command

    git config core.editor "emacs -nw"
