How HEAD works in Git
Summary: In this article, Julia Evans discusses the concept of HEAD in Git and its various meanings. She explains that HEAD can refer to the file .git/HEAD, which determines the current branch in Git, or it can be used as a "revision parameter" in git commands to refer to a commit ID. The article also covers how Git uses HEAD in the output of various commands, such as git status, git log, and merge conflicts. Evans concludes by suggesting that more consistent terminology around HEAD could make it more intuitive for users.
