How to reset where my branch is pointed from master to develop

Question

I created a branch tool-testing and a pull request to merge into master

This is how I created the branch git checkout -b tool-testing master . After doing some work I created a PR, it was approved but was told not to point to master . Instead, point my branch to develop .

How would I point to the branch named develop now?

Answer 1

You should rebase the branch on top of develop :

git rebase master tool-testing --onto develop`

It is now like you started working on the branch from develop instead of master . Then you can force-push the branch and you need to change the target branch of the PR to develop instead of master .
