What does "Not currently on any branch" mean?

Question

git

Hello everyone,
How is it possible that when you download a remote repository and run git status in its folder, you get:
Not currently on any branch.
What settings does it depend on?
good day !

Answer 1

Actually, that's exactly what it means. Git doesn't switch to any branch after clone.
Why did it happen? Because the HEAD of the repository on the remote server does not look at the branch, but at some specific commit.
