    To commit, save and quit the way you normally do in vim. :x, :wq, :w followed by :q, ZZ, whatever.

    To abort you can use :cq.

    If you’d rather use something other than vim (it isn’t clear if your problem is that you don’t know vim or are just confused that git dropped you in vim) you can change $EDITOR to whatever editor you’d prefer. See git help commit for more details.
