Fixing Git:

So, recently I was facing some issues with pushing my committed file to the git branch name Origin/rahi. The problem all started by git not committing any changes to the branch and making clone branch of same name, which I was able to delete easily by switching back and forth between branches but switching back to ‘Origin/rahi’ was not working. In my further analysis I found that the reason behind the issue was the complexity of the local folder. So, I reinstate the git and local folder, then I clone the repository first. Later I tried to check the status, I got all the result globally, which was strange because I didn’t have git installed globally. Still I tried to commit checking that is it working if I commit any one file from local folder or not.

 I found the git could not find the file since again the git was installed locally point globally and was excluding the local folder, Since it consider that to be it’s base for operating globally. I thought let me fix the issue by Deleting the git and setting the git again as same as one I did when I initially made the folder. But that didn’t worked either.

 Now since I had completed the work I wanted to share it as soon as possible I committed the file manually to the git lab and try fixing it later. So, after committing to the git I opened git again and found the it’s Head is pointing towards the master branch the way I was expecting it and there was nothing in the queue which made me think that the files are going towards master instead of branch ‘Origin/rahi’. But when I checked the master branch or even any recent activities there is nothing committed to any branch at all, which was not making any sense, Since the commit where going somewhere. I tried goggling the issue related to the git but found nothing.

 Later I asked Sadik, about it according to him I was missing to add ignore file for global issue and he told me the fetch it and check the list of branch from git, in which I got ‘nothing’. So, he explains me that I am either have not set the folder towards the repository or there is some unknown issue. I made some further try in switching the branch, pushing or committing to a branch ‘Origin/rahi’ in which I was getting error ‘saying no such file exist’ which I googled about and got that instead of pushing I can make the HEAD the difference towards a branch using ‘HEAD diff’. But since doing that I was committing the changes somewhere unknown(not even master branch), which I had no option but to google about the branch name, in which I found a real good explanation regarding the big picture of the HEAD pointing where, so according to the following link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5772192/how-can-i-reconcile-detached-head-with-master-origin

The HEAD was not pointing to any branch but to the commit itself (according to the branch name). So whenever I commit something It goes back to the commit itself. Which makes sense about it going somewhere but branch. So, I used the solution given in the link which stated, that I need to fetch the git and create a new branch and make it point towards master but since I wanted it to be point to ‘Origin/rahi’ I made the HEAD pointing towards it. Now the current branch is ‘Origin/rahi’ and I can push local folder to it. This issue was a roller coaster ride for me. Phew!! It is gone!!
