GitHub: Unable to delete main branch from remote repository after changing default branch to master
I am unable to delete main branch from my remote repository after changing my default branch to master.
I made a repository on github and pushed the branch named master from my local repository to it. Then i changed the default branch to master as it contained files i wanted to keep and remove the "main" branch but the delete icon isnt responding.
the option to delete main branch is not working
Solution
Do you see that tiny shield icon?
It means you have branch protection active.
You need to allow deletions.
You will find the active rules at <your-repository-link>/settings/branches.
