My current project ran into some snags and due to this I git checkout to an older commit. I did some fiddling and progress to a point much further past my master.
I then want to essentially delete the master branch or make my development branch my master.
I can't seem to merge the branch into the master as some files have been deleted or changed causing a lot of merge conflicts, I've been unable to amend these changes, trying to delete those files locally or on my gitlab online and pulling down.
I know that deleting a master is a pretty dumb thing to do, is there a way I can make the development branch my master.
Thanks
