Close the creation of a new .gitignore file in Git Bash

Question

I am trying to upload a Unity project to GitHub and I want to create a new .gitignore file. The instructions I am following suggest to create it using the vi .gitignore command, and to close the creation process, I have to type :wq at the end of the text. I typed the script and ended it with :wq, but it is not closing.

So this question has nothing to do with git, unity game engine, github, or git bash — it's about vi? In that case all of your tags are wrong; you should delete all of them and put vi instead. But if you find vi problematic, just don't use it. .gitignore is just a text file; any text editor will do. Use something you're comfortable with. — matt

@matt I changed the tags, thank you for the info. And I will try and do the text file method — M.Ismail
