# 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.
