To move files from the master branch to the main branch in Git, you can follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are currently on the master branch by running the command:
1
git checkout master


  1. Create a new branch named "main" from the current state of the master branch by running the command:
1
git checkout -b main


  1. Add the files you want to move to the main branch by running the following command for each file:
1
git add <file_name>


  1. Commit the changes to the main branch by running the command:
1
git commit -m "Move files to main branch"


  1. Push the changes to the main branch on the remote repository by running the command:
1
git push origin main


  1. Optionally, you can also delete the files from the master branch by running the command:
1
2
3
git rm <file_name>
git commit -m "Delete files from master branch"
git push origin master


By following these steps, you can move files from the master branch to the main branch in Git.
