Git Reset master / Copy code from a branch to master

Question

How can I delete or reset my remote and local Git master branch and copy/use the code of another branch to master ?

I want to preserve this another "better_branch" and make an exact copy from it to master ! The old commits on the actual master branch are not that important!

From the master branch, you can simply run

$ git reset --hard better_branch

Then git push -f to "force push" your local master overtop of the remote master.
