In this branch I can do whatever I want without affecting others. I will create a new branch called feature/refactor. This will create a new branch on the revision that is selected. In the image below I create a new branch from the context menu in the commit log.
Git create branch instead of master plus#
Plus anyone who is working on same repo should delete their master branch, take git pull and create new master branch. Create branch¶ In Git Extensions there are multiple ways to create a new branch. Hence we forcefully pushed out new master branch to remote. Git push –force origin masterĪnd its done.We had to perform step 3 and 4 because git does not allows us to delete master branch from remote. Once you’ve pushed your new branch, you need to tell GitHub that this is your new 'default branch'. The branch which was named masterTemp on my local machine is now master Configuring GitHub to use main instead of master. When using the git-flow extensions: git flow. Now there is no master branch on my local machine.Ģ) Renamed my masterTemp branch to master A hotfix branch can be created using the following methods: Without the git-flow extensions: git checkout master.
And we cherry-picked all stable changes to masterTemp branch.So we landed in a situation where we wanted masterTemp branch as master branch.And Here is how we did it. And unfortunately one of the branches merged was created from an unstable branch.
Several of branches were merged to master branch. While working on Git with a big team, there are chances that a situation might arise when you want to set some other branch as master branch.Recently we were in a same situation.
