Git default branch issue

I'm new to git and I'm working with another developer. I want whenever I do git pull or git push to only affect the development branch. I went to .git/config but I don't understand what is there. Any pointers would be much appreciated. 

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    url = https://github.com/Zeasdfasdf4/m2ex2
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "development"]
    remote = origin

You can't switch branches with your gitconfig. How can do this, however, with the git checkout command.

Simply run git checkout development to switch to this branch. This also means that pulls and pushes will interact with the remote development branch (instead of the remote master branch).
