git-rename-branch: Rename the branch you are currently on.
$ git rename-branch ${new_branch_name}
try on your machine
The command git rename-branch
is not a native Git command. It seems that you are using a custom alias or a script to execute this command.
However, based on the command syntax you provided, it appears that this command is used to rename a Git branch. The variable ${new_branch_name}
should be replaced with the desired new name for the branch.
Renaming a branch in Git typically involves two steps:
-
Move the branch pointer to the new name:
git branch -m ${old_branch_name} ${new_branch_name}
.- This command renames the branch locally by moving the branch pointer itself.
-
Push the renamed branch to the remote repository:
git push origin -u ${new_branch_name}
.- This command updates the branch name on the remote repository if it exists, or creates a new branch with the new name and sets it as the upstream branch.
Please note that if you are using a custom command or script, it could have additional functionality or parameters specific to your development environment.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
