Why did the git branch command start opening in the editor after a git update?

Question

git

There was version 2.7, it seems, it has been updated to 2.17 and now the command git branchopens in the editor built into the console (it seems to be called that), which is inconvenient. forces you to perform an extra action to exit.
1. Why is this done? After all, this command simply prints a list of branches.
2. How to return it back so that the name of all repo branches and in which branch I am simply written to the console.
