Git: “Not currently on any branch.” Is there an easy way to get back on a branch, while keeping the changes?

Question

So I\'ve done some work in the repository and when I\'m about to commit I realize that I\'m not currently on any branch.

This happens a lot when working with submodu

Answer 1

git checkout master

That's result something like this:

Warning: you are leaving 2 commits behind, not connected to
any of your branches:

1e7822f readme
0116b5b returned to clean django

If you want to keep them by creating a new branch, this may be a good time to do so with:
git branch new_branch_name 1e7822f25e376d6a1182bb86a0adf3a774920e1e

So, let's do it:

git merge 1e7822f25e376d6a1182bb86a0adf3a774920e1e
