How to rename a directory/folder on GitHub website?

Actually, there is a way to rename a folder using web interface.

1) Type a folder name followed by slash to go down into a subfolder. 2) Type dot dot, then slash, to jump upwards one directory. 3) Use the backspace key to edit the parent directory's name.

There is no way to do this in the GitHub web application. I believe to only way to do this is in the command line using git mv <old name> <new name> or by using a Git client(like SourceTree).
