Fix a Detached HEAD - Git
Solution
Just checkout
to the branch
you want:
$ git checkout <branch>
For instance:
$ git checkout master
Info
If you want to keep the chances you are working you should create new branch or stash your changes.
Reason
Any checkout
of a commit that is not the name of one of your branches will get
you a detached HEAD
. A SHA1
which represents the tip of a branch still
gives a detached HEAD
. Only a checkout
of a local branch name avoids
that mode.
When HEAD
is detached, commits work like normal, except no named branch gets
updated. It is like an anonymous branch.
For example, if you checkout a remote branch without tracking it first, you
can end up with a detached HEAD
.
