Users should be able to configure Git to not send them into a Vim editor.

See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-var

GIT_EDITOR

Text editor for use by Git commands. The value is meant to be interpreted
by the shell when it is used. Examples: ~/bin/vi, $SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE,
"C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe" --nofork. The order of preference is the
$GIT_EDITOR environment variable, then core.editor configuration, then
$VISUAL, then $EDITOR, and then the default chosen at compile time,
which is usually vi.


So maybe

    git config --global core.editor "nano"

helps in your case?
