Expand description

Represents the kind of HEAD reference.

Variants

Symbolic(Reference)

The existing reference the symbolic HEAD points to.

This is the common case.

Unborn(FullName)

The yet-to-be-created reference the symbolic HEAD refers to.

This is the case in a newly initialized repository.

Detached

Fields

target: ObjectId

The object to which the head points to

peeled: Option<ObjectId>

Possibly the final destination of target after following the object chain from tag objects to commits.

The head points to an object directly, not to a symbolic reference.

This state is less common and can occur when checking out commits directly.
