Rename git branch locally and remotely

Sometimes by mistake we have a situation to rename the remote and local git branch name. Below steps will help to do same –

1. Rename your local branch.

git branch -m new-name
git branch -m old-name new-name

1 2	git branch -m new-name git branch -m old-name new-name

2. Delete the old-name remote branch and push the new-name local branch.

git push origin :old-name new-name

1	git push origin :old-name new-name

3. Reset the upstream branch for the new-name local branch.

Switch to the branch and then:

git push origin -u new-name

1	git push origin -u new-name
