Answer 1

If you are using eGit in Eclipse:

• Right click on the project node.
• Choose Team → then Advanced → then Rename branch
• Then expand the remote tracking folder.
• Choose the branch with the wrong name, then click the rename button, rename it to whatever the new name.
• Choose the new master, then rename it to master.
