Git

You are in 'detached HEAD' state

Detached HEAD State

HEAD points to a specific commit rather than a branch. Commits made here won't be on any branch.

Common Causes

Checked out a commit hash
Checked out a tag
Checked out a remote branch without creating local branch

Fixes

1. Create branch to keep work
```
git checkout -b new-branch-name
```
2. Return to branch
```
git checkout main
```
3. Discard and switch
```
git checkout -f main
```

Still not fixed?

• Search the exact error message on Stack Overflow or GitHub Issues
• Check the official docs for the language or tool
• Ensure your versions (Node, Python, npm, Docker) are up to date
• Try in a minimal reproduction (new project, single file)
