Jenkins Git branch is always shows HEAD detached at

Question

In Jenkins Source Code Management, I put refs/heads/dev into the Branches to build->Branch Specifier (blank for 'any').

And in the physical machine which Jenkins server depends on, when I type in git branch , I would expect it to should show * dev as current branch instead of * (HEAD detached at 0952s96) .

Answer 1

It's the expected result of git checkout refs/heads/dev . Try dev instead of refs/heads/dev . But in most cases, it doesn't matter if it's in detached HEAD state as long as HEAD and refs/heads/dev point to the same commit.
