What this means is that you can discard your temporary commits
|

and merges by switching back to an existing branch (e.g. `git
|
||||
checkout master`), and a later `git prune` or `git gc` would
|

garbage-collect them.

garbage-collect them. If you did this by mistake, you can ask

the reflog for HEAD where you were, e.g.

|
||||
The command would refuse to switch back to make sure that you do
|
||||
not discard your temporary state by mistake when your detached
|
||||
HEAD is not pointed at by any existing ref. If you did want to
|
||||
save your state (e.g. "I was interested in the fifth commit from
|
||||
the top of 'master' branch", or "I made two commits to fix minor
|
||||
bugs while on a detached HEAD" -- and if you do not want to lose
|
||||
these facts), you can create a new branch and switch to it with
|
||||
`git checkout -b newbranch` so that you can keep building on
|
||||
that state, or tag it first so that you can come back to it
|
||||
later and switch to the branch you wanted to switch to with `git
|
||||
tag that_state; git checkout master`. On the other hand, if you
|
||||
did want to discard the temporary state, you can give `-f`
|
||||
option (e.g. `git checkout -f master`) to override this
|
||||
behaviour.
