I am trying to sync my fork of a repository with the original upstream branch using the steps given here.
After I run the command in step 5. I get a message on the screen saying, Please write a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary...
I write my message and press enter but nothing happens. I tried pressing esc shift + enter but nothing happens.
I also tried the steps mentioned here but still, nothing happened.
Please explain how do I complete this step by successfully writing a commit message?

In the ad-hoc editor window you can see hints at the bottom of the screen.
(^X Exit is to be understood as CTRL+X)
It'll then return the message to be used in your commit.

Strange. Can you precisely describe the shell program you're using? I (maybe mistakingly?) read from your question that you refered to MING64, the bash client included in Git for Windows. Is it the case? – Romain Valeri Aug 25 '20 at 19:06

I am using this bash [terminal](https://gitforwindows.org/) – KUSHAGRA BANSAL Aug 26 '20 at 05:42
