Plus anyone who is working on same repo should delete their master branch, take git pull and create new master branch. 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. Hence we forcefully pushed out new master branch to remote. Create branch¶ In Git Extensions there are multiple ways to create a new branch. 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. The branch which was named masterTemp on my local machine is now master Now there is no master branch on my local machine.Ģ) Renamed my masterTemp branch to 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. and for the grand finally, you can now switch to that branch. The feature-work pointer still points to all of our work since we’re only moving the tip of the master branch back.

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. When you type in git resert hard you’ll see the following: Now things are making A LOT more sense.

Git create branch instead of master
