Note: for **Bitbucket**, you would change the default branch by accessing the settings of your repository, and changing the branch at the  &quot;**`Main branch`**&quot; combo box.

![Main branch on Bitbucket][1]

Once the main branch is no longer master, then [you can push and remove master][2]. 

[MarsAndBack][3] confirms in [the comments][4] this applies to GitHub as well.

In the **settings** block on the **options** tap in the **settings** page (well, just click on the *Settings* tab on your GitHub repository page), you are able to change the default branch (you need to have the other default branch on GitHub as well).

![Change default branch on GitHub][1]

After you have done that, you are able to remove it:

    $ git push bb :master

In **2021**:

- go to Repository Settings  
[![Repository Settings menu item image][1]][1]
- scroll down to Advanced
- scroll down to Main Branch
- choose the new branch from the dropdown  

[![enter image description here][2]][2]

Then, run your git change command, eg `git push bb --delete master`

or, in my case, `git push origin :master main`

*Note: You&#39;ll have to be the repository&#39;s administrator to make changes like this.*

I want to find out the clockwise angle between 2 vectors(2D, 3D). 

The clasic way with the dot product gives me the inner angle(0-180 degrees) and I need to use some if statements to determine if the result is the angle I need or its complement. 

Do you know a direct way of computing clockwise angle?

I am using git via the terminal on the mac.
I have encountered an annoying problem recently when I try to perform `git pull`.
After performing `git pull` I receive the following error message:

    Merge ssh://domain.com/repository.git
    # Please enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary,
    # especially if it merges an updated upstream into a topic branch.
    #
    # Lines starting with &#39;#&#39; will be ignored, and an empty message aborts:
    # the commit.

The issue is that I can&#39;t enter anything. My terminal seems stuck and there isn&#39;t anything I seem to be able to do about it. I am reasonably new to git so it may be a simple mistake I am making.

I read [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11744081/why-is-git-prompting-me-for-a-post-pull-merge-commit-message) that for some people the text editor opens at this point. This certainly isn&#39;t the case at my end. It also states there that I can use the --no-edit flag to merge without a message, but even this does not seem to work at my end.

I am a bit clueless at the moment, stuck and unable to push any changes to my server.

git pull - can&#39;t submit merge message

In last hour or so i have modified files 

    A
    ATest
    B
    BTest

In order to make sure my commit messages line up with the actual change, committed `A` with a description. Unfortunately i have not included `ATest` into that commit.

Meanwhile, still not committed are `B` and `BTest`. 

What is the best way to proceed at this point? I&#39;d like to either:

1. Revert previous commit without affecting my currently uncommitted files?
2. Add another file under the same description to the previous commit?

Is there a way to show the Jenkins build status on my project&#39;s GitHub Readme.md? 

I use Jenkins to run continuous integration builds. After each commit it ensures that everything compiles, as well as executes unit and integration tests, before finally producing documentation and release bundles.  

There&#39;s still a risk of inadvertently committing something that breaks the build. It would be good for users visiting the GitHub project page to know the current master is in that state.

I have **two** remote git repositories. `origin` and `github`

I push my branch `devel` to both repositories.

    git push -u origin devel
    git push -u github devel

But then, when I do. `git push` It would only get pushed to `github`.

Is there anyway I can set up my two remotes, so that I can push changes to both repositories with one command ?

Delete last commit in bitbucket

I&#39;m a team leader in our web development company, and I&#39;d like to implement Git workflow in our team. Reading documentation and articles I&#39;ve found the following structure good for us:

We have a repository in a Bitbucket. **Master** branch is considered to contain stable code only. Every dev must create his own branch and implement features/bugfixes in his **own** branch. Once he decides, that his code is ready, he creates a nice branch history (using rebase, amend, cherry-pick etc.) and pushes it to Bitbucket, where creates a pull request to master branch. QA verifies functionality and approves (or disapproves) it, then I&#39;m verifying code and if it is ok, I merge his work into master (by fast-forward or rebasing for better commits history).

But this scheme is good only in a case, when single developer works on a branch. In our case we almost always have two developers for one branch, since one developer is working on *server-side* (PHP), and another - *client-side* (HTML/CSS/JS). How these two should collaborate in a way, that commit history in master stays clean?

Server dev creates basic structure of HTML files and client dev needs to get this structure. Logically would be for server dev to create a branch, and for client dev to create his own branch, based on server dev branch. But this means, that server dev needs to *publish* his branch in Bitbucket, which will make it *impossible for him to rebase or change commits*, that are already published.

Another option is to wait, until server dev finishes his work, publishes branch with nice commits history and forgets about it, and only after that client dev starts to work in this branch, but this will cause time delays, which is even worse.

How do you handle such a collaboration in your workflows?
