How To Exit Vim Text Editor Command

by

To exit the Vim text editor, you can use one of the following commands:

  1. Save and exit:
:wq
  1. Exit without saving:
:q!
  1. Save changes, but exit only if there were no changes:
:q

Note that :q will only exit the editor if there have been no changes made to the file. If you have made changes and want to exit without saving, use :q! instead.
