Renaming a Branch in Git

If you created a branch with the wrong name or simply want to change its name, you can.

Renaming your local branch:

If you are already on the local branch:

git branch -m new-branch-name

If you are on another branch and want to rename a different one:

git branch -m branch-i-want-to-rename new-branch-name

Deleting the old remote branch and pushing with the new name.

git push origin :old-name new-name

Pushing the renamed local branch to remote.

git push origin -u new-name

#git #github
