Rename a local and remote branch

# Rename your local branch. If you are on the branch to rename: git branch -m branch-new-name

# Delete the old-name remote branch and push the new-name local branch. git push origin :branch-old-name branch-new-name ``# Reset the upstream branch for the new-name local branch. git push origin -u branch-new-name
