Move all uncommitted changes to a new branch and revert the existing branch to HEAD. "master" has uncommitted changes. You decided you'd rather make those changes in "dev_branch". Here's how to move those uncommitted changes to "dev_branch" and then revert "master" to its last commit.
# get into the master branch
git checkout master
# create a new branch for the changes and check it out
git checkout -b dev_branch
# stash the changes until we revert master
git stash
# go back to master
git checkout master
# reset to the last commit
git reset --hard HEAD
# go back to dev_branch
git checkout dev_branch
# re-apply the stashed changes and you are good to go
git stash apply
