When I checkout a tag I get this output:
λ git checkout REL-6.2.0
Note: checking out 'REL-6.2.0'.
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>
HEAD is now at c154795... Set REL-6.2.0 in pom.xml on release/6.2.0 branch.
git checkout
> /dev/null
From the documentation for git checkout
, you can use the --quiet
flag to suppress certain types of output:
git checkout --quiet # or just -q
I just checked out a prior commit on a local branch in the detached head state using the --quiet
flag and there was no output in the console from Git. Instead, I just saw the new prompt:
