Switch branch name on SourceTree

Question

I was learning how to use SourceTree and git, and after experimenting I accidentally made a commit in the wrong branch, and it seems like my master branch is no longer the main branch.

Here is an image of what my graph currently looks like. I was wondering it is possible for me somehow make bugfix-z branch my master branch

If you haven't pushed yet, you can easily revert the last commit using

git reset --soft HEAD~1

You can type in this command in the terminal (use the 'terminal' button on the right of the toolbar).

After that you can switch to the master branch and commit the changes again.

In the terminal. You will find a terminal button on the right of the SourceTree toolbar. Button icon looks like `>_`. – GolezTrol Aug 02 '15 at 08:56

Considering master has been merged into bugfix-z, a consider simple

git checkout master
git merge bugfix-z

That would fast-forward master to bugfix-z HEAD.

@Sachin yes, or you can checkout the master branch in source tree, and merge bugfix-z in SourceTree: same result – VonC Aug 02 '15 at 08:58
