How to Change GitHub Branch Names Example

Показать описание

Need a quick example of how to change GitHub branch names? It's not that hard. There's actually a Git branch rename function in the website, so you can change a branch name in GitHub quickly and online. But, you still need to push those branch name changes down to all of your developer, which means a little bit of coordination on their end.

The bottom line? After you rename a GitHub branch, your clients must do a git fetch --prune, merge any changes from the old branch into the renamed branch, and then do a git branch --delete call to delete their local copy of the GitHub branch that was renamed on the remote server.
