I have added and commited on non existant branch; how do I get that commit onto a branch?

I added some untracked files and committed them, then I tried to push them and it said I wasn't on a branch. So I looked and I had branches

   * current
   Master

So I switched to branch master. The files are still there, but I don't remember all of their names. I can't switch back to the * branch.

How can I find that commit so I can push those untracked files? I have seen this happen before; I don't know how I keep doing it.

Check git reflog it'll list all the commits your HEAD was on.

The lone commit will probably be there. To merge it onto master, you could just git cherry-pick <commit SHA>
