Failed patch changed my Git Bash prompt, how do I revert it?

Question

I tried to apply a patch using git am <my.patch, but it failed.

Now I'm getting this in Git Bash:

sashoalm@SASHOALM-PC /c/Workspace/MyProject (master|AM 1/1)

My prompt used to show:

sashoalm@SASHOALM-PC /c/Workspace/MyProject (master)

So something has been "left over" from the unsuccessful patch, how do I completely cancel it, and return to the old prompt?

You can abort the process:

git am --abort

Thanks :) It was a clear explanation. Can you also please tell what "am" actually does ? – Tarun Nagpal Oct 29 '18 at 04:41
@TarunNagpal `git am` takes a patch file (or series of files) and applies them to your current git branch – Mureinik Oct 29 '18 at 06:30
