“git checkout ” is changing branch to “no branch”

Question

I am working on a branch in git. When I do

git checkout 

(commit id obtained from git log ), it is getting commit

Answer 1

If you are branch master and you do a git checkout

I'm fairly certain that this causes git to load that commit in a detached state, changing you out of the current branch.

If you want to make changes you can and then you can do a git checkout -b to create a new branch based off that commit and any changes you have made.
