How to change the current branch to master in Egit?
I want to know how to do this in Egit the eclipse plugin. This question has been asked many times for git but the answers involve some form of command language I do not have access to or know. Using the eclipse interface how can I make the test branch the master branch without taking on the original master branches flawed code (ie no merging)
Solution
It should be possible by:
- creating a new branch on top of your current
master(in order to not lose the HEAD of that branch) - resetting the
masterbranch to thetestbranch (the commits won't be lost, since they are referenced by the new local branch you just created)
The OP Deco reports the appropriate process he followed:
- Created a
tempbranch alongside themasterbranch - Right clicked and selected
Team >'switch to' > 'master' - Chose
hard resetand select thetestbranch.
