Aborting commit due to empty commit message. git bash with atom is not working

Question

why on earth i see this ??

Aborting commit due to empty commit message.

Answer 1

I think that you have some problems in your git configs(see core.editor), but you can do these:

You can add commit message by putting it after -m:

git commit -a -m"This is my commit message"

Or you can ignore the message by passing --allow-empty-message e.g.

git commit -a --allow-empty-message

Good Luck

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I tried this and problem solved :

git config --global core.editor "C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/atom/bin/atom.cmd -w"

replace USERNAME with yours in your pc
