If you do

git reset --soft refs/heads/master

That will leave you in a state in which
- your current branch is master again
- you still have all your files.

There you can commit onto master.

------------------------
Another posibility (maybe tidier) is to do that in another branch, so first:

git co -b new-branch-name
git add ...
git commit ...

and after you have everything working you go back and update master:
git co master
git merge new-branch-name
