How do I rename a local Git branch?
Jan 11, 2022
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>
