Commiting a git message?

[TheMeaningfulEngineer]

I have set the following command as the docs state:

config --global core.editor 'nvr --remote-wait-silent'

and it does correctly open the commit message editor in a separate buffer
instead of a nested vim.
It isn't clear on how to actually commit the message once you're done writing it.
During normal usage I would use wq but this results in closing vim and the message not committed
to git.

Yup, you have to save and delete (:w | bd) the commit buffer instead.

You can check the following: :au nvr BufDelete. When the buffer gets deleted, an RPC method will notify nvr that the work is done and that nvr can return now.

Would this work?

   autocmd! FileType gitrebase setlocal nohidden
