Better yet  configure the editor to something you are comfortable with  gedit as an example    git config --global core editor  gedit    You can read the current configuration like this   git config core editor   You can also add the commit message from the command line   git commit -m  blablabla    and the editor will not be opened in the first place

Had troubles as well  On Linux I used Ctrl X  and Y to confirm  and then I was back on the shell ready to pull push   On Windows GIT Bash Ctrl X would do nothing and found out it works quite like vi vim  Press i to enter inline insert mode  Type the description at the very top  press esc to exit insert mode  then type  x   now the cursor is at the bottom  and hit enter to save and exit   If typing  q  instead  will exit the editor without saving  and commit will be aborted

Note that if you re using Sublime as your commit editor  you need the -n -w flags  otherwise git keeps thinking your commit message is empty and aborting

As an alternative to  save  amp  quit   you can use git-commit s function git-commit-commit  by default bound to C-c C-c  It will save the file and close it  Afterwards  you still have to close emacs with C-x C-c  as mentioned before  I am currently trying to find out how to make emacs quit automatically
