Question
Make the current Git branch a master branch
I have a repository in Git. I made a branch, then did some changes both to the master and to the branch.
Then, tens of commits later, I realized the branch is in much better state than the master, so I want the branch to "become" the master and disregard the changes on master.
I cannot merge it, because I don't want to keep the changes on master. What should I do?
Extra: In this case, the 'old' master has already been push
-ed to another repository such as GitHub. How does this change things?
