Git: How to replace the master branch

It happens to all of us, we accidentally commit something into a git repo that we didn’t mean to, even worse we also pushed it to the main repository on GitLab or GitHub.

TL;DR — too long; didn’t read

Local: git branch -f master backup

Remote: git push origin +backup:master
