Hi, I'm new here. I'm using Github right now. I have a repository there and a local copy on my Windows 7 PC. I made a change, committed it, then attempted to push it. I got a strange error that I can't remember. Anyway, after several attempts I decided to just delete the local repository, restore it from github and try again later. I realize now that there were other ways this should have been handled, but right now it doesn't matter. I can't figure out how to restore a copy from Github and make this renewed repo the master branch. Can anyone give me a detailed, step by step answer please?

Thanks, Joseph Zimmerman
