Recover from ">" prompt in git bash

ctrl + c should do this. You will receive a> if you entered a double quote but did not close it. For example, you can make a comment with several lines as follows:
$ git commit -m "added stuff
> 1. this stuff
> 2. also this stuff"
But you can just press ctrl + c if you change your mind and just want to cancel the command.
