Error with SSL

Hi guys, I 've followed the steps in https://laracasts.com/series/server-management-with-forge/episodes/12 but I get an error:

Creating well known challenge directory... Installing LetsEncrypt client... Cloning into 'letsencrypt1520168326'... Note: checking out 'tags/v0.5.0'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

HEAD is now at 4a81175... version 0.5.0 Configuring client... Restarting Nginx... Generating Certificate...

INFO: Using main config file /root/letsencrypt1520168326/config

I already got it: the website was not live yet. Had to do a workaround with a subdomain.
