How do I move to a forward commit?

I was testing changes in git and I checked out a previous commit:

git log

commit 223090

commit 223089

git checkout 223089

When I do a git log I do no longer see 223090.... A git status shows

HEAD detached at 223089

How can I find the actual SHA of the latest commit since it no longer shows?

Use git reflog to find the last head you were at before checking out or you could even do git checkout ORIG_HEAD.

ORIG_HEAD is a special tag to a commit, stores the original head before a command was ran.

Git checkout creates a new branch with HEAD at the A git branch lists all the branches, and in order to revert back I needed to stash/discard my changes and do a git checkout <branch name> in order to get back to where I was.
