You where on a detached head (if I understand your question correctly). This explains it pretty well: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10229202/9083959 — lukas-reineke, May 14 '18 at 09:22
@lukas-reineke yes exactly detached, how can i move my work from detached head to dev branch — blackHawk, May 14 '18 at 09:25
find the commit with reflog, checkout dev and cherry-pick the commit. — lukas-reineke, May 14 '18 at 09:27
how can i find that commit inside commit, on git bash its only showing some initial number, let me show image — blackHawk, May 14 '18 at 09:31
I think you need a quick brush up on some git fundamentals. What a commit is and what a conflict is. — evolutionxbox, May 14 '18 at 09:51

Simply use git reflog: that will give you the last commit you just did before switching branches.

Then cherry-pick said commit to your current dev branch, as seen here, using git cherry-pick:

git cherry-pick <commitSHA>
