Description
### Custom Node Testing
- [x] I have tried disabling custom nodes and the issue persists (see [how to disable custom nodes](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled) if you need help)
### Expected Behavior
Trying to update ComfyUI Portable (Win 11) via the manager and I get this error :
```
[ComfyUI-Manager] Failed to checkout 'master' branch.
repo_path=D:\comfyui\ComfyUI
Available branches:
ComfyUI update failed
```
In the startup log I can see this line :
```
[ComfyUI-Manager] network_mode: public
### ComfyUI Revision: 150 [265adad8] *DETACHED | Released on '2025-11-04'
```
When I run git branch -al in the comfyUI directory it shows :
`* (HEAD detached at v0.3.68)`
Not sure how I managed to 'detach' from the main branch. I just downloaded the portable version and have been using that ever since.
Is there a safe way to update ComfyUI core code without messing up any other nodes/extension that I have installed like sageattention, reactor, etc.
### Actual Behavior
ComfyUI updated to latest via Manager.
### Steps to Reproduce
Goto ComyUI Manager > Click Update ComfyUI
### Debug Logs
```powershell
[ComfyUI-Manager] network_mode: public
### ComfyUI Revision: 150 [265adad8] *DETACHED | Released on '2025-11-04'
