Change default branch in gitlab

I accidentally pushed my local master into a branch named origin on gitlab, and now this is the default. Is there a way to rename this branch or set a new main branch to master?

First I needed to delete on my server using ssh. If someone has a way not to do this, write.

I found my bare repositories in

 cd /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/group-name/project-name.git

is used

 git branch

to see the wrong active branch

 git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master

to change the master to a branch named master, then use the web interface and "git branch" to confirm.
