Upon coding, I realized I had made a mistake. I used

git checkout 7e57dbf5a7245...

to revert to an older commit. Now when I commit using

git commit -a

it says I am committing to a [detached HEAD f69ae14]. When I use

git push origin master

it says Everything’s up to date… What do I type to push this [detached head] commit back to the master?

    You current log must be something like this

    *-*-*-*[7e57db]-*-*-*<master>
       \
        *-*-*-*<HEAD>

    Now you should reset master to current HEAD position, make master current branch and push it to origin:

    git branch -f master HEAD
git checkout master
git push origin master

    Note that you will lose all commits between 7e57db and current master.
