Resolve it by doing exactly what the message says.

Because you didn't specify a commit message with -m or -F, the client
is looking for an external editor whose location is specified in any
of those 3 environment variables to open up and for you to enter a
commit message.

So, either specify the commit message at the command line with -m, in
a file specified by -F, or set one of those environment variables to
your editor of choice.
