GitHub/git - how to make only one branch (gp-pages) and delete other branches

I have git repository with site, that is publish on GitHub pages (gh-pages branch).

Now I want to have only one branch gh-pages and delete all others (local and on server)

The answer that pops-up is How do I delete a Git branch both locally and remotely? , however when doing

git push origin --delete master

remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master To https://github.com/Nodeclipse/www.nodeclipse.com.git ! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited) error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/Nodeclipse/www.nodeclipse .com.git'

With Eclipse EGit I can delete in UI but it remains on server, and after pull comes back.

You might need to change the default branch in your remote repo to be something other than the master branch:
