How to deal with "detached head" in Travis

[dtothefp]

When publishing with Lerna in Travis I commonly run into the issue with Travis not being able to push its commit because Travis clones in a detached head state.

Is there some sort of workout for this issue in this repo that I'm not seeing?

Hi @dtothefp 👋
On the examples showed here we always assume that the user want to build from master. Travis has an option to specify a different branch (to allow): https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build/#building-specific-branches That could help I think.
Keep in mind that the goal here was to publish/deploy/release from travis, looking to automatize such a task.
Hope this helps a bit 👍
