$ git branch -m OLD-BRANCH-NAME NEW-BRANCH-NAME

$ git fetch origin

$ git branch -u origin/NEW-BRANCH-NAME NEW-BRANCH-NAME

git branch –m old-name new-name

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

git branch -m new-branch-name

git branch -m <newname>

 $ git branch -m <new_name>

git branch -m OLDBNAME NEWBNAME

git push origin :old-name-of-branch-on-github

git branch -m old-name-of-branch-on-github new-name-for-branch-you-want

git push origin new-name-for-branch-you-want

​

1.git branch -m <newname>

2.git push origin -u <newname>

3.git push origin --delete <oldname>

4.git config --global alias.rename 'branch -m'

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.
