Github desktop open in sublime, not atom

In GitHub Desktop, is there any way to change the right click "Open in Atom" option, to instead be "Open in Sublime" or some other text editor?

enter image description here

Thanks!

on Windows with portable Sublime Text editor.

You need to create a registry key with a path to a folder where subl.exe file is. This is the absolute minimum (of valunames) for the key:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Sublime Text 3_is1]
"Publisher"="Sublime HQ Pty Ltd"
"DisplayName"="Sublime Text 3"
"InstallLocation"="C:\\Apps\\YOUR\\PATH\\TO\\Sublime\\"
"Comment"="This key is needed for Github to detect SublimeText"

valuename Comment is not needed. I added it for myself to remember what's this key about.

This is the registry location for Uninstall info. But because I removed most of the valuenames which original Sublime installation creates, Windows Uninstall will not show this as an entry to remove in Uninstall.

You can't, as it seems to be a part of app's menu. However, you can set your default editor in global config like

git config --global core.editor "subl -n -w"
