Sorry, my mistake, I found this mailing list here[0] where it is written that this is one for asking questions, having comments or reporting bugs. > A detached head simply means that you are looking at a specific commit > ((hash number)), rather than the 'latest commit on the branch'. I think that I kind of understand what is a detached head now, but my problem is when I run: gitk --all I still can see the detached head, whether I am on the 'detached head state' or not. > You did not say which OS you were on, or if you prefer the command line, > or a visual gui to see the current arrangement of your commits - the > 'gitk' viewer is useful for the latter. Sorry about that, I am on Debian. > If you have already made some commits on the 'detached head' then use > the 'git branch' command, or 'git checkout -b' to create a branch name > for your new commits (check the manual).

The fact is that I fetched a whole rep into a detached head state named temp, but this is not a git branch. So I am stuck trying to delete this whole rep. My history is splitted by two by the rep in detached head state. Thanks for your response. Alex [0] https://git-scm.com/community
