unable to write commit message using atom text editor

I am getting this error Aborting commit due to empty commit messagewhen I use the git commit comand.

I have configured the atom editor using this code git config --global core.editor "atom --wait"

every time I run the command 'git commit' the atom code editor opens but in the terminal i get this error msg Aborting commit due to empty commit messageI tried typing the commit msg and closed the editor but nothing is commited.

atom --wait , atom -w and atom --add --wait are not working it opens atom and immediately show next terminal prompt.
