GIT Why do I seem to be on two branches at once?

I'm having quite an issue with my repository...

It seems that I'm on several branches at once and I can't figure out why.

Here's a screenshot of what SourceTree shows: You can see the commit is selected on the left but there's also a disc next to the commit's description

I never faced such a problem before.

Would you know of to fix that? I'll provide any information needed to solve this problem...

You are not "on two branches at once". The following just means that your branch master is in the same state as remote origin/master branch. You should not "fix" that at all. Keep calm and carry on ;)

Also, you may commit something and you will see that your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. Then you may reset it back.

I don't think that you are on two branches at once, nor does Git allow this as far as I know. I believe that your master (local) branch and your remote tracking branch origin/master are up to date with each other. SourceTree is simply telling you this by showing both branches adjacent to each other. I am assuming that you are actually on the master branch.

You can confirm this by typing git status from the Bash.
