Assuming you're currently on the branch you want to rename:
git branch -m newname This is documented in the manual for git-branch, which you can view using
man git-branch or
git help branch Specifically, the command is
git branch (-m | -M) [<oldbranch>] <newbranch> where the parameters are:
<oldbranch> The name of an existing branch to rename. <newbranch> The new name for an existing branch. The same restrictions as for <branchname> apply. <oldbranch> is optional, if you want to rename the current branch.

If you're currently on the branch you want to rename:
git branch -m new_name Or else:
git branch -m old_name new_name You can check with:
git branch -a As you can see, only the local name changed Now, to change the name also in the remote you must do:
git push origin :old_name This removes the branch, then upload it with the new name:
git push origin new_name
