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.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
