I have some code in a git repo that is "Not currently on any branch". Now,
there's the master branch and another branch 'ui-integration' that I'm using in
this project. I don't know how the project got into this headless state, but I
need to be using the 'ui-integration' branch.

I tried looking around the blogosphere for a solution, and tried what I found
here. But it seems like only my last commit (not the previous 10 I made) shows
up in the master branch (not ui-integration ).

What's the most straightforward & cleanest way to merge my changes in the
headless branch to my 'ui-integration' branch?

Try 'git checkout -b temp', which creates a branch called 'temp' with
its HEAD at where you currently are, and then merge your changes to
ui-integration via 'git checkout ui-integration; git merge temp', and
finally drop the junk branch with 'git branch -d temp'
