I keep getting stuck when trying to exit README file after saving. I'm in Windows and have tried CtrlX, CtrlZ, Ctrl Q.

I am able to type "Y" to save the changes, but when I try to get back to the previous work space in GitBash I'm stuck.

I'm using GitBash.

I've also been trying to follow along in the Treehouse work space, but when I pause too long it is not saving my work so when I go back I have to start over.
