how to reset develop branch to master

Question

I have develop & master branches, my develop branch is messy now and i would like to reset it and make it as a copy of my master

Answer 1

I'm a bit late to the party, however, after merging my dev branch into the master and pushing to the server, I do the following:

git fetch

git checkout development

git merge origin/master

git push

The the dev branch is one commit ahead of the master branch, and other developers don't have to worry about all commits in the development branch being reset.
