[Git] How to rename your remote branch

Rename your local

foo

branch with

bar

:

git branch -m foo bar

Remember this will add the new branch when you

push

, but it won’t delete the old

foo

remote branch.

Add

-f --mirror

to rename the branch on the remote:

git push origin -f --mirror

If you just want to remove your remote

foo

branch, just use:

git push origin :foo
