How-To/Rename-a-Branch.md

+**Renaming Git Branch is currently only possible through command line, if you are not comfortable doing this either contact a [maintainer](Process/Maintainers) for help or in GitHub delete the branch and recreate it.**
+
+Follow the steps below to rename a Local and Remote Git Branch:
+
+1.  Start by switching to the local branch which you want to rename:
+`git checkout <old_name>`
+
+2.  Rename the local branch by typing:
+`git branch -m <new_name>`
+
+At this point, you have renamed the local branch.
+
+If you’ve already pushed the <old_name> branch to the remote repository, perform the next steps to rename the remote branch.
+
+3.  Push the <new_name> local branch and reset the upstream branch:
+`git push origin -u <new_name>`
+
+4.  Delete the <old_name> remote branch:
+`git push origin --delete <old_name>`
+
+That’s it. You have successfully renamed the local and remote Git branch.
