I have Emacs running in deamon mode at /usr/bin/emacs --daemon
I have been told to start emacs as client I can type emacsclient -c -a "" $*
However, that command starts up a new version of the GUI emacs.
I am on Ubuntu and have both the GUI and non-GUI version of emacs installed but when I run that command I only want to connect to the non-GUI emacs daemon I have running.
I can get to this by typing emacs -nw
but I use emacsclient -c -a "" $*
so that any time a program opens with the default EDITOR (like a git commit message) it too opens in the emacs daemon.
How can I prevent the GUI emacs from opening?
