//Make sure you are in your branch. Develop is a a branch in this case
git checkout master

git pull
If there were any additional changes made meanwhile
git push
To push the final master to the master repository
git checkout develop
//Move to branch again to work
Example 2: merge git branch
1. //pull the latest changes of current development branch if any
git pull (current development branch)

git checkout master
3. //pull all the changes if any
git pull

git merge development
5. //push the master branch
git push origin master
