git branch –m old-name new-name
// If you are in a different branch:
git branch -m old-name new-name
// If you are in the same branch:
git branch -m 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 checkout Branch-Name-You-Want-to-Change
$ git branch -m New-Branch-Name
$ 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 <newname>
$ git branch -m <new_name>
git branch -m <newname>
git branch -m new-branch-name
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
git branch -m <current_name> <new_name> # Change Name For Any Branch
git branch -m <new_name> # Change Name For Current Branch
