merge two github branches

Question

So was starting with GitHub and created a repo with same name as the folder (ie resume) on my desktop. Now it created a default branch of name main .

Using a GitHub document ( https://gist.github.com/mindplace/b4b094157d7a3be6afd2c96370d39fad ), I pushed my code to the same repository in GitHub.

Now there are two branches in my GitHub repo ( main and master ).I tried to merge the two using Pull Request, but GitHub said that There is nothing to compare in the two branches .

I want to have master as my only branch. What can I do? Plz Help.

Here's the link to the repo https://github.com/Ankit29Git/resume.git

You can delete the main branch from the remote.

git push origin --delete main
