How to rename your git branch

Thinking about renaming your default branch for your repo? You can do it 3 easy steps.
git branch -m stem
git push origin :master
git push --set-upstream origin stem

You might encounter an error that looks like this! Not to worry, this means that your default branch is set to master, and you need to change your repo settings.

Go to your repo, and switch to another branch as your default. Do your thang. Then update your default branch settings to the new branch you have made!
