"Waiting for your editor to close the file" when trying to use Sublime Text 3 as Git editor

I'm trying to use Sublime Text 3 as Git's editor. I ran this: sudo ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/subl Then this: git config --global core.editor "subl -n -w" I then ran: git commit --amend Sublime opened and I edited the file, saved it, and then closed it. However, Git was still waiting for the file to close: hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... - There is no error message. - I can use Sublime with no problems outside of Git. - I tried restarting the machine (MacBook Pro). - Using textedit works as expected: git config --global core.editor "open -W -n" - The version of Sublime is: 3.2.1 Build 3207 - Git: git version 2.17.1 (Apple Git-112) Why isn't this working?
