Seong-lae ChoIn Git, HEAD is a pointer that indicates the currently checked out commit. While 'master' (or 'main') is commonly the default branch, HEAD itself is not a branch but rather a pointer mechanism.
- HEAD can point to:
- A branch reference (normal state)
- A specific commit directly (detached HEAD state)
- Branches are references that:
- Point to specific commit versions
- Move automatically when new commits are created
Git branch named origin/HEAD -> origin/master
I'm fairly new to Git, and still getting the hang of it. I just recently started working with branches and am running into some questions. I have two development systems, an Ubuntu desktop and an MacBookPro. I did a bunch of work in a new organizations branch on the Ubuntu system and performed commits and pushed to my remote repo.
