   You are in 'detached HEAD' state.
   You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

     @fraggle working on detached HEAD is a great way to avoid creating local branches. I don't need them anyway. Been working like this for years.

     @leean00 @fraggle I'm under no illusion about git's usability, the error message is not awesome and neither are the commands to get into a named branch, but if you've been in this state more than once unwillingly, the way out is literally one checkout command, regardless if you want to name your current state and make it a branch or you want to discard it and switch to an existing branch.

     @fraggle Oh this state drives me crazy when I'm coding; it's a valid state nothing wrong, but trying to get out of it...

     @urologi @fraggle You checked out a tag or a literal commit hash rather than a named branch.

     @fraggle it's, uh, interesting that having a detached head is like not even close to the worst thing that can happen on a daily basis using git

     @DiegoCrespo @fraggle No need, there's nothing wrong. Go to the branch you thought you were in.
