This worked for me if anyone else scrolls this far done.
For thoroughness, I use atom so in my .gitconfig it reads

[core]
editor = atom -w

Hi there,
Thank you for all the advice. I have looked at all the suggestions, and I have checked my .gitconfig file: editor = atom -w is set correctly, yet I still have the same issue.

Hey Badran! Can you take a screen shot of your .gitconfig file? (Obviously, blur out the sensitive info.) Also what operating system are you on?
