Ok, I think I got it, just to be on the safe side is archived my work 
and put it in a different directory, but I created a new branch 
qml-support (I had a qml_support branch before, but I deleted it to keep 
to the naming conventions of the other branches ['-' instead of '_']). I 
set the qml-support branch as my default remote branch, then I deleted 
the master branch, and reuploaded it without my commits.

Does it look like I did it right?
