Deleting remote master branch, refused due to being the current branch
How do I delete a remote master branch from GitHub/Bitbucket?
I'm trying:
# git push bb --delete master
remote: bb/acl: user is allowed. accepted payload.[K
remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master[K
To ssh://[email protected]/user/reponame.git
! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://[email protected]/user/reponame.git'
Also I tried
git push bb :master
But all this does not work.
Solution
Note: for Bitbucket, you would change the default branch by accessing the settings of your repository, and changing the branch at the "Main branch" combo box.
Once the main branch is no longer master, then you can push and remove master.
