It happened somehow that I left the master branch and ended up on the no branch branch. How can I give this branch a meaningful name?
In detail: Calling git branch shows
* (no branch)
master
and what I want (without changing any file) is to have e.g.
* extraBranchIEndedUpWith
master
git status is clean.
“no branch” is not a branch, as the name says. It means you have checked out a revision that isn’t the tip of a branch.
To create a branch of it, simply
Just like you would create any other branch from your current revision.
