Git overwrite branch with another branch

git-overwrite-branch.sh

# overwrite master with contents of feature branch (feature > master)
git checkout feature      # source name
git merge -s ours master  # target name
git checkout master       # target name
git merge feature         # source name

This works. Thank you!

Awesome, worked like a charm. One thing i will add though is to use git push -f in case you can't push

Thank you!! I needed this one. Would've had a breakdown otherwise.

Thank you, this was perfect :)

Approved, that works! Thanks

That still leaves non-conflicting stuff in master. Say i deleted shit in seotweaks but master still has them, the merge will let master keep it because it doesn't conflict, it's just master "adding" things.

git checkout -B master anotherbranch
