Sync in detached HEAD state

If you launch a workspace from a commit ID in a Git-based project and then try to sync or pull changes, you may see the following error: detached head state workspace

In this scenario, your workspace is in a detached HEAD state. In order to pull or sync, you must checkout a branch.

Different IDEs may provide different ways to checkout a branch. The following instructions will work for Jupyter Notebook.

  1. Open a terminal. open terminal dropdown workspace

  2. Type git checkout -b my-new-branch-name into the terminal. Your new branch starts from the commit ID that you launched with. git checkout branchname workspace

  3. Re-try the sync or pull action.
