How to open Sublime Text 3 editor with git commit

I have already configured Sublime Text 3 as my text editor for git Bash. Sublime successfully opens when I type subl 'filePath'

However, when I try a git commit, the text editor fails to open and outputs the following error:

hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... subl -n -w: subl: command not found
error: There was a problem with the editor 'subl -n -w'.
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.

I have added to files to the staging area and am ready to commit.
