Question: My asp.net site has a navigation that uses an .active css tag to change the color of the navigation color on active pages. 

This is in my site.master header

```
.active
{
 background-color: #c62020; 
 border-right: 1px solid;
 margin-left: -1px;
}

</style>

```

This works great as is. But now I want it to change the background color depending on a variable, I have the code to do it in the Site.Master.cs.

I understand that I cant use <%= %> inside the header. Whats the best way to get this to work?

Thanks

Answer: 
It sounds like you completely want to discard the `master` branch, in that case, why not simply delete it and branch off `dev`?

```
git checkout dev
git branch -D master
git checkout -b master
git push origin +master

```

That last `git push` will force an update to your `origin` remote.
A branch in Git is really just a pointer to a commit. If you think about it like that it is simple.

```
git branch -d master
git checkout dev
git branch master

```
