Git I changed the HEAD by mistake, and don't know what to do

My project has 2 branches main and feature1. I merged them and then I tried to delete feature1 I thought the command was git checkout -d feature1, but it wasn't and now it says HEAD is now at 71bgr8p (My latest commit message). And it shows that I'm in a branch ((71bgr8p...)). When I type git branch it says that the current branch I'm on is HEAD detached at refs/heads/feature1

How can I undo this?

You are currently in the detached HEAD state. The fix is easy, just checkout another branch, e.g. to return to the main branch do:

git checkout main

As for deleting the feature1 branch, use the following:

git branch -d feature1        # to delete the local branch
git push -d origin feature 1  # to delete the remote branch
