When i try to “bench get-app erpnext”, I’m getting this error.

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>

I can’t figure out the cause of this error. Please help :smiley: thanks in advance :slight_smile:

This notes your case https://howtogit.net/recipes/getting-out-of-detached-head-state.html

with this advice:

In a nutshell: You’re not on a branch right now. You’re browsing a snapshot of your Git files from a specific commit in your history. To get out of detached HEAD state and go back to master, do git checkout master.

BTW I am not a git master so exercise caution

Thank you so much for your reply @clarkej, i switched to production instead of develop so I managed to install a clean bench :smiley:
