Rename remote branch

Renames a branch both locally and on the remote.

• Use git branch -m <old-name> <new-name> to rename the local <old-name> branch to <new-name>.
• Use git push origin --delete <old-name> to delete the old remote branch.
• Use git checkout <new-name> to switch to the renamed branch.
• Use git push origin -u <new-name> to set <new-name> as the remote branch for the renamed branch.

git branch -m <old-name> <new-name>
git push origin --delete <old-name>
git checkout <new-name>
git push origin -u <new-name>

git checkout master
git branch -m patch-1 patch-2    # Renamed the local branch to `patch-2`
git push origin --delete patch-1
git checkout patch-2
git push origin -u patch-2 # Renames the remote branch to `patch-2`
