I have a repository having two branches master ( keeps final error free code ) and develop ( developing branch ).The default branch is master, I cloned and worked on the project, but unfortunately I forgot to checkout to the develop branch before I start coding.So all the changes that I made will be on the master branch. Is there any way to switch the branch after developing? so that I can commit and push the code only to the develop branch without loosing my code.

    Just do `git branch new-branch` to create a new branch at your current HEAD and then reset the `master` back to where you want it. (eg, `git branch new-branch; git reset --hard @{u}; git checkout new-branch`) – William Pursell Feb 11 '22 at 13:30

If you don't have any work saved on your develop branch, just delete it with git branch -d develop and rename master to develop with git branch -m master develop.

If you have something already on your develop, just merge the changes into develop with git checkout develop then git merge master.
