git-rename-branch:tldr:55cd1
The command "git rename-branch ${old_branch_name} ${new_branch_name}" is used to rename a branch in Git. Here's how it works:
-
Replace ${old_branch_name} with the name of the branch you want to rename. This is the branch you want to change the name of.
-
Replace ${new_branch_name} with the new name you want to assign to the branch. This is the name you want to change the branch to.
For example, let's say you have a branch called "feature-branch" and you want to rename it to "new-feature-branch". The command would be:
git rename-branch feature-branch new-feature-branch
Once you execute this command, Git will rename the branch from "feature-branch" to "new-feature-branch". It will retain all the commits and history associated with the branch but update the branch name.
It is worth noting that this command is not a built-in Git command, and it may not be available in all versions or installations of Git. However, you can achieve the same result using other Git commands such as "git branch --move".
