# 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>
1. Verify the local branch has the correct name:
git branch -a
2. Next, delete the branch with the old name on the remote repository:
git push origin ––delete old-name
3. Finally, push the branch with the correct name, and reset the upstream branch:
git push origin –u new-name
Alternatively, you can overwrite the remote branch with a single command:
git push origin :old-name new-name
Resetting the upstream branch is still required:
git push origin –u new-nameHow 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>
git branch branch_name --set-upstream-to your_new_remote/branch_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>git branch -m new_name
git push <remote> :old_name new_name
