# Rename the local branch to the new name
git branch -m <old_name> <new_name>
# Delete the old branch on remote - where <remote> is, for example, origin
git push <remote> --delete <old_name>
# Or shorter way to delete remote branch [:]
git push <remote> :<old_name>
# Push the new branch to remote
git push <remote> <new_name>
# Reset the upstream branch for the new_name local branch
git push <remote> -u <new_name>
git push origin :old-name
git push origin new-name
git branch -m <new_name>
How do I rename both a Git local and remote branch name?
1.Start by switching to the local branch which you want to rename:
git checkout <old_name>
2. Rename the local branch by typing:
git branch -m <new_name>
3. At this point, you have renamed the local branch.
If you’ve already pushed the <old_name> branch to the remote repository ,
perform the next steps to rename the remote branch.
4. Push the <new_name> local branch and reset the upstream branch:
git push origin -u <new_name>
5. Delete the <old_name> remote branch:
git push origin --delete <old_name>
# Rename the local branch to the new name
git branch -m <old_name> <new_name>
# Delete the old branch on remote - where <remote> is, for example, origin
git push <remote> --delete <old_name>
# Or shorter way to delete remote branch [:]
git push <remote> :<old_name>
# Prevent git from using the old name when pushing in the next step.
# Otherwise, git will use the old upstream name instead of <new_name>.
git branch --unset-upstream <old_name>
# Push the new branch to remote
git push <remote> <new_name>
# Reset the upstream branch for the new_name local branch
git push <remote> -u <new_name>
git push origin :<branch_to_rename>
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
git push --set-upstream origin <new_branch_name>
1. 'Start by switching to the local branch which you want to rename:'
git checkout <old_name>
2. 'Rename the local branch by typing:'
git branch -m <new_name>
git branch -m <new_name> //currenct branch switch name
git branch -m <select_branch_name> <new_branch_name>
git branch -m new_name
git push <remote> :old_name new_name
git branch -m <new-branch-name>
