To be honest I'm not sure ORIG_HEAD can be called a branch, yet it appears in my visual editor as one.

I have made a "git reset --hard HEAD~1" and then made some changes, finally committing them. How to get right of that ORIG_HEAD branch?

回答1:

See "HEAD and ORIG_HEAD in Git":

ORIG_HEAD is previous state of HEAD, set by commands that have possibly dangerous behavior, to be easy to revert them.
It is less useful now that Git has reflog: HEAD@{1} is roughly equivalent to ORIG_HEAD

In your case, you did a git reset, so Git left a "reminder" of where you were before said reset.
You can ignore it.

You can also get rid of it with a simple

rm -f $GIT_DIR/ORIG_HEAD
# or
rm -f .git/ORIG_HEAD

That is what the example/git-reset.sh script does for instance.
