How to rename a GitHub repository in Git

If you need an example of how to rename a GitHub repository, you've come to the right place. Not only will I demonstrate how to rename the GitHub repo, but I'll also demonstrate the impact a GitHub repo name change has on clients who have used the old name to clone, pull and push to the repository.

I love this! Thanks!

Been working on a personal project for a year, and the other day I thought of a much more suitable name. Wasn't confident about potential repercussions until I saw your video.
