Rename git branch remote and local

Comment

# 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>

change branch name on local and remote

Comment

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>

Git change remote branch name

Comment

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-name
