Checking out Git tag leads to “detached HEAD state”

Question

I\'m developing a deployment script for my git project and I just started using tags. I\'ve added a new tag called v2.0:

git tag -a v2.0 -m \"La         


        

Answer 1

Yes, it is normal. This is because you checkout a single commit, that doesnt have a head. Especially it is (sooner or later) not a head of any branch.

But there is usually no problem with that state. You may create a new branch from the tag, if this makes you feel safer :)
