How do I rename a local Git branch?

If you want to rename a branch while pointed to any branch, do:

git branch -m <oldname> <newname>
If you want to rename the current branch, you can do:

git branch -m <newname>
If you want to push the local branch and reset the upstream branch:

git push origin -u <newname>
And finally if you want to Delete the remote branch:

git push origin --delete <oldname>
A way to remember this is -m is for "move" (or mv), which is how you rename files. Adding an alias could also help. To do so, run the following:

git config --global alias.rename 'branch -m'
If you are on Windows or another case-insensitive filesystem, and there are only capitalization changes in the name, you need to use -M, otherwise, git will throw branch already exists error:

git branch -M <newname>

change branch name

git branch -m new-branch-name

git rename branch from local

1. 'Start by switching to the local branch which you want to rename:'

rename branch in git

# 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 <new_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>
