+# Aborting Git Commits And Rebases
+
+When you are amending a commit or doing an interactive rebase of a series of
+commits, Vim will be open to a buffer full of content related to the
+respective action. Normally, you'll make some changes, save the buffer, and
+then quit -- Git will take over from there by processing the commit or
+rebase.
+
+What if you find yourself in this situation and you want to cancel the commit or
+rebase? Simply quitting with text already in the buffer will be interpreted
+by Git as a signal to go ahead and process the commit/rebase.
+
+So, how do we quit without confirming the action?
+
+Vim allows you to quit with an error code.
+
+```
+:cq
+```
+
+This means that irrespective of the content of the buffer, Vim will signal
+to Git with an error code to not process the commit or rebase, effectively
+aborting the action.
+
+See `:help cq` for more details.
