Sometimes when git reflog and try to checkout to a previous commit, project((6a33dbc...))$ git reflog show master 77aa688 master@{0}: rebase -i (finish): refs/heads/master onto fc3eaa4 6a33dbc master@{1}: commit: wip ..... project(master)$ git checkout master@{1} Note: moving to 'master@{1}' which isn't a local branch If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: git checkout -b <new_branch_name> HEAD is now at 6a33dbc... wip project((6a33dbc...))$ project((6a33dbc...))$ git branch * (no branch) master It becomes (no branch) although the SHA1 is correct. If I then checkout master, then it revert and jump back up the previous master HEAD. I tried HEAD@{xx} also failed. What is the correct way of to checkout that master@{..} and stay in that master branch? (Sometimes it worked I forgot how and why) -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
