Not an expert, but won't

git branch -m  do the trick?

As Claude mentioned, the two branches diverged quite a bit.
If you checkout from one branch to the other, it takes >10 seconds to perform the switch,
because there are too many files that need to be changed.

If you perform the standard git merge, you get

$ git merge gcomprixogoo

$ _

which means that it requires quite a bit of manual labor.

I now read the URL you gave earlier. It suggests to rename the gcomprixogoo branch to master (and get rid of the old master).
The only concern for this is what happens to those that already have a copy of the repository.
Would those with a copy of the repository be able to pull with 'git pull' and update as normal? If it is possible, then this is the way to go.
