As stated above you might be looking for how to exit the editor. If you want to avoid landing in the editor altogether try `git commit -m "[Your commit message here]"` to avoid being taken to the editor. — Jorge Cabot, Apr 03 '19 at 19:38

You are not stuck in bash, but rather in Vim. You can exit the program without committing by typing :q!, if you however want to finish your commit with your entered message, you can always close the program and save your message by typing :wq.

I suggest you use EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano git commit to use the easier to use texteditor nano. You can of course use any other compatible text editor you'd like.
