Dangling objects in Git are objects (commits, trees, blobs) that are not reachable from any references, such as branches or tags. This can happen when:
- A commit is orphaned (e.g., when a branch is deleted).
- A file is modified and the previous version is no longer referenced.
Dangling objects can still exist in the repository, but they are not accessible through the normal commit history. They can be found using commands like git fsck, and they may be stored in the lost+found directory if you run a check for lost objects.
