change git branch name remote code example
Example 1: Git change remote branch name
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
Example 2: edit branch name git
$ git checkout Branch-Name-You-Want-to-Change
$ git branch -m New-Branch-Name
Example 3: how to change the name of the branch in git
git checkout <old_name>
git branch -m <new_name>
git push origin -u <new_name>
git push origin --delete <old_name>
