A detached HEAD in Git means you're no longer on a branch but instead directly referencing a specific commit. This often happens when you checkout a commit hash, a tag, or a remote-tracking branch without creating a new branch first.

While in this state, Git lets you make changes and even commit, but those commits aren’t tied to any branch. That means they can be lost if you switch away without saving them to a branch.

If you want to keep the changes, simply run git checkout -b my-new-branch to anchor your work to a new branch. Otherwise, you can safely return to a branch like main using git checkout main. Detached HEAD mode is safe for browsing history or testing code, but if you're planning to make changes, switch or create a branch to avoid losing your work. https://perimattic.com/git...
