How to turn Detached Head into master in git?

Question

In case of Detached Head, how do I remove the commits ahead of Detached Head and turn Detached Head into master?

Answer 1

It's not quite clear what you mean.

If you want to "Not be in a detached head state anymore, but instead have master checked out, but have master be at the same commit I'm at now with my detached head.", you want to do this:

git tag before
git checkout master
git reset --hard before
#git tag -d before

Answer 2

Use the git reset command to make the current branch point to a commit.

Specifically, get the commit ID that you want to point to, git checkout master, then git reset <ID>.
