After switching to a different branch, git checkout - can move me back to the branch I came from. This is handy for times when I wonder "wait, what was that last branch again?"

But this does not work for everything situation when you switch from commit to another. It works for branches, but when you do git pull and receive some new commits, git checkout won't switch you back to the previous one.

Is there a command for "switch back to the previous commit I was on" that works in every situation that changes HEAD?
