How to revert to master branch after push?

Question

git

Hello, I cloned the master branch, made changes, committed and pushed it to a new branch. How to switch back to the master branch, while having the repository take the state of this branch, so that you can then do the same actions without breaking anything?

Answer 1

1. Switch to master:
$ git checkout master
2. Or immediately merge the changes to the master branch:

$ git checkout master
$ git merge <имя ветки, в которой были изменения>

PS $- do not copy.
