gitx How do I get my Detached HEAD commits back into master

Question

Using Git X and must have fumbled royally on something   Looks like a few days ago I created a branch called detached HEAD and have been committing to it   My normal process is to commit to master and then push that to origin   But I can t push detached HEAD   My next stop screwed me  I selected git checkout master - and my detached HEAD branch disappeared  Going back to my project all of my changes in the past few days have been wiped   Is there anyway I can get those changes back

If your detached HEAD is a fast forward of master and you just want the commits upstream, you can

git push origin HEAD:master

to push directly, or

git checkout master && git merge [ref of HEAD]

will merge it back into your local master.

If checkout master was the last thing you did  then the reflog entry HEAD  1  will contain your commits  otherwise use git reflog or git log -p to find them   Use git merge HEAD  1  to fast forward them into master   EDIT   As noted in the comments  Git Ready has a great article on this   git reflog and git reflog --all will give you the commit hashes of the mis-placed commits     Source  http   gitready com intermediate 2009 02 09 reflog-your-safety-net html
