Try instead, as shown here:

git config --global core.editor "'C:/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/subl.exe' -w"

This is also documented by GitHub.

It will work better when done from a CMD (instead of a bash session) because of the way the quotes (simple and double) are interpreted.

@IlyesGhomrani Are you doing it in a CMD sesion, or a bash session? What is your current version of Git?

@IlyesGhomrani Can you try the same git config command I mention in the answer from a CMD session? As well as the next git commit?
