How to make Atom open when I type "git commit"

When I type git commit Atom should open, but it doesn't.

For the configuration on command prompt, I typed:

config --global core.editor "atom --wait"

When I type:

git commit

It says:

hint: waiting for your editor to close the file .......

error: there was a problem with the editor  "atom --wait"

Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.

As it is explained in "Git commit fails: "Please supply the message using either -m or -F option."", you should check your git config core.editor value. It might refer to a path with spaces in it, without quotes.

Make sure to use single quotes when registering that editor path, and double quotes around all command expressions registered, along with '/' instead of '\' for the path separator.

git config core.editor "'C:/path/with spaces/xxx.exe' -<someoptions>"
