Renaming Branches

We can rename the branches in many ways. Below are some methods to do this.

where You can use the below command along with the -m option, along with the old branch and new branch name. As shown below.

Commands: 

git branch -m <old-branch> <new-branch>

By doing this, the old branch name will be changed to a new branch name.

Step 2. If you want to change the name of the current working branch, first you have to switch the branch first, after that rename the branch. As shown below.

Commands: 

This will switch to the some-other-branch branch.

git checkout <branch name>

The above command will rename the old branch to the new branch.

git branch -m <old-branch> <new-branch>

Step 3. If you have a remote branch with the same name as the branch you’re trying to rename, you’ll need to push the new branch name to the remote repository and delete the old branch name on the remote repository. You can do this with the following commands:

Commands:

The following command deletes the old branch on the remote repository.

git push origin :<old-branch>

The following command pushes the new branch to the remote repository.

git push origin <new-branch>

The above-mentioned are some methods by which we can change the name of your branches.

Git allows developers to manage code changes collaboratively and efficiently. One of the fundamental operations in Git is pushing changes to a remote repository. Pushing changes ensures that your local commits are sent to the remote repository, making them accessible to other team members.
