What is the way to save and quit editing in Windows CMD

Question

I was stuck in windows cmd when I try to use git commit -a after I enter the message I dont't know how to save and quit.

What do you mean "save"? You either commit or not, there's no way to "save" — m0skit0, Nov 30 '15 at 20:42

After you have typed in your message, you have to press Esc (for leaving insert mode) and then

:wq

This has been discussed here: VIM for Windows - What do I type to save and exit from a file?

Perhaps, if you have some difficulties to use vim to write your commit message, you should configure an editor more in the habits of windows users: https://stackoverflow.com/a/773973/717372
