So I'm assuming he hit CTRL X to save the file.. when I do that this pops up.. "-- ^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y)" and it won't let me proceed so I am literally stuck on this screen.. ugh.

The default text editor used in the video is called Nano and has different commands for saving/exiting. If you want to change the default text editor used by Git to Nano, use this command:
$ git config --global core.editor "nano"
