Fix git broken ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
Raw
broken-refs.md

Error seen during git commands

"warning: ignoring broken ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD"

The Fix

Check remote branches

git branch -r

If the above does not display an "origin/HEAD", the HEAD can be set.

git remote set-head origin main

Where "main" is the primary/head branch.
