Hello,
I am searching for help as I made two mistakes, I think.
First I fetched origin in a 'branch' called temp that is in a 'detached head'
state.
But I can't delete temp by checking out master.
I don't know how to get rid of this temp detached head.
Second, the detached head causes one issue :
It splits my commits in two, I mean that all the new commits I do are on top of
temp detached head but they are not linked.
I can't get through these two issues with google, I don't know why.
Cheers,
Alex
This list is for the development of Git. There is a googlegroups list
for git users. However..
A detached head simply means that you are looking at a specific commit
((hash number)), rather than the 'latest commit on the branch'.
You did not say which OS you were on, or if you prefer the command line,
or a visual gui to see the current arrangement of your commits - the
'gitk' viewer is useful for the latter.
If you have already made some commits on the 'detached head' then use
the 'git branch' command, or 'git checkout -b' to create a branch name
for your new commits (check the manual). Having named the new commits,
you can get back to link the bits together. You can use 'cherry-pick' to
pick of individual commits from that new branch onto the new
destination, or use rebase if there is a series.
