If you want to rename a branch while pointed to any branch, do: If you want to rename the current branch, you can do: If you want to push the local branch and reset the upstream branch: And finally if you want to Delete the remote branch: A way to remember this is -m is for “move” … Read more
Just do: or if you have a specific repo: This will delete your previous commit(s) and push your current one. It may not be proper, but if anyone stumbles upon this page, thought they might want a simple solution… Short flag Also note that -f is short for –force, so will also work.
With git reflog check which commit is one prior the merge (git reflog will be a better option than git log). Then you can reset it using: There’s also another way: It will get you back 1 commit. Be aware that any modified and uncommitted/unstashed files will be reset to their unmodified state. To keep them either stash changes … Read more
git pull origin master pulls the master branch from the remote called origin into your current branch. It only affects your current branch, not your local master branch. It’ll give you history looking something like this: Your local master branch is irrelevant in this. git pull is essentially a combination of git fetch and git merge; it fetches the remote branch then … Read more
Really the ideal way to do this is to not use pull at all, but instead fetch and reset: (Altering master to whatever branch you want to be following.) pull is designed around merging changes together in some way, whereas reset is designed around simply making your local copy match a specific commit. You may want to consider slightly different options to clean depending on your system’s … Read more

The origin/master branch is essentially a “cached copy” of what was last pulled from origin, which is why it’s called a remote branch in git … Read more

First, run a fetch to update all origin/<branch> refs to latest: Backup your … Read more
