Changes
git switch
instead ofgit checkout
to help users get back to a previous HEAD state.Context
From at least Git version 2.25.1, the detached HEAD advice text is changed. It now uses
git switch
instead ofgit checkout
.I searched for
detached HEAD
in the whole book and this is the only place where the Git command-line output is shown.After merging, this would be the only place in the book where
git switch
is used.@ben, do you want me to make a pull-request for a section explaining
git switch
?
