Duplicate Branch Names in Repository

[AndresCdo]

I have noticed that our repository contains two branches with the same name: main. This is causing confusion and could potentially lead to issues with our version control and collaboration processes.

Screenshot

Description

• Default Branch: Main (updated 15 hours ago)
• Active Branch: main (updated 3 weeks ago, 65 commits behind, 1 commit ahead)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to the repository branches overview.
2. Observe that there are two branches named main listed.

Expected Behavior

There should be a single main branch in the repository to avoid confusion.

Possible Solutions

1. Merge the changes from the active main branch into the default Main branch and delete the duplicate.
2. Rename one of the branches to a different, meaningful name.

Additional Information

Please check the branches and resolve this issue to streamline our version control and reduce any potential conflicts.

I had trouble fixing it. Can you give me suggestions on how to do that ?
Steps I took :

• Rebase Main into main (No effect)
• Created a branch to merge (No effect)

You can try these steps:

1. Delete the branch that’s not needed after confirming it's safe.
2. If both branches are necessary, consider cherry-picking the unique commits from one branch to the other.
3. Ensure your local and remote repositories are synced before making these changes to avoid conflicts. Let me know if this helps!

Not necessarily. Will you be online today so I can show you ?
