GIT - How to make a branch be the same as master

Question

I have a website using git

The setup has the master branch as the live site and a develop branch as the dev domain which is used for testing features before they go

Answer 1

If you don't care about preserving develop just checkout develop and reset it to master.

# make sure master is up to date before you do this
git checkout develop
git reset --hard master
git push -f # force push the branch

This is often done for an integration branch every morning, so that the nightly integration is always based on master.
