GIt - I'm stuck after writing in the commit message template. The console beeps but nothing happens.

This happened after I entered "Added a README file."

On Mac Terminal: To save your work and exit press Esc (that will move your curser to the end of the line and prevent editing) and then type :wq (w for write and q for quit).
