Change a branch name in a Git repo

Comment

If you're currently on the branch you want to rename:

git branch -m new_name 
Or else:

git branch -m old_name new_name 
You can check with:

git branch -a
As you can see, only the local name changed Now, to change the name also in the remote you must do:

git push origin :old_name
This removes the branch, then upload it with the new name:

git push origin new_name

how to change branch name

Comment

Rename a local and remote branch in git
Rename your local branch. If you are on the branch you want to rename: git branch -m new-name. ...
Delete the old-name remote branch and push the new-name local branch. git push origin :old-name new-name.
Reset the upstream branch for the new-name local branch. Switch to the branch and then: git push origin -u new-name.
