    If you remember which branch was checked out before (e.g. master) you could simply

    git checkout master
    

    to get out of detached HEAD state.

    Generally speaking: git checkout <branchname> will get you out of that.

    If you don’t remember the last branch name, try

    git checkout -
    

    This also tries to check out your last checked out branch.
