I've been making some vast changes on the master branch of my Git repository. I'm pretty new to Git and so I'm wondering:
How can I move my current master branch to a new branch and recreate my master branch from scratch for a particular folder of files?
As an example, I have another folder, like new_stuff, that contains the new files to be added to the master branch, and that old master is a new branch named old_master.

The git branch command can be used to create a new branch. When you want to start a new feature, you create a new branch off main using git branch new_branch . Once created you can then use git checkout new_branch to switch to that branch.
Within the directory of the repository, in the command line type the following:
git branch -m master old_master git branch master This should be enough :)

Use git branch -m master old_master to rename master to something else. Then do something like git checkout -b master HEAD~2 to create the new master as per your needs ( in this case till the 2nd commit from previous HEAD ) Now add / replace the folder new_stuff and commit in master
