Git create branch where detached HEAD is
GitGit BranchGit Detached-HeadGit Problem Overview
I tried something like this:
git branch temp
to create a new branch but don't move the HEAD
. But I get:
# Not currently on any branch.
I don't want to merge anything, I just want a new branch at the current HEAD
.
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
You're sitting on a detached HEAD
:
git checkout <sha>
You want to make a branch at that commit:
git branch my-new-branch
And now switch to that branch:
git checkout my-new-branch
Solution 2 - Git
You can also use:
git switch -c <new branch name>
