You could be in a DETACHED HEAD mode here.

You can check that by looking at the output of a git branch executed within your repo working tree.

The SO question "github for windows crashing several times a day" contains instruction to recover (but backup your work in progress first, just in case).

  • closing that pop-up, and clicking Tools -> Open a Shell Here.
  • From the shell, you can run 'git reset --merge' to undo the merge that caused GitHub for Windows to crash.
  • From there, run 'git checkout master' to switch from the detached HEAD.
  • After that, run 'git pull' in the shell to pull down any new changes. It will prompt you to fix any merge conflicts (which is what caused the app to crash).
