You are in ‘detached HEAD’ state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

git checkout -b new_branch_name

Works great on OSX (it install well and I’ve used it), installs on Ubuntu but does not work on require, see example:

git = require('nodegit')

Everything works great now, I was able to install it on that Ubuntu machine which didn’t previously work. AWESOME! Thanks for sticking with me all this time 👍 appreciate it !
