就我而言，我需要一个额外的命令，

git branch --unset-upstream

让我的重命名分支推到原点newname。

(为了便于输入)，我首先git签出oldname。 然后执行如下命令:

Git branch -m newname <br/> Git push origin:oldname*或* Git push origin——delete oldname Git分支——unset-upstream Git push -u origin newname或Git push origin newname

这个额外的步骤可能只是必要的，因为我(倾向于)通过git push -u origin oldname在我的分支上设置远程跟踪。这样，当我签出oldname时，我随后只需要键入git push而不是git push origin oldname。

如果我没有在git push origin newbranch之前使用命令git branch——unset-upstream, git会重新创建oldbranch并将newbranch推到原点oldbranch——这就违背了我的意图。

在GitHub端，您可以使用新的(2021年1月)“支持重命名现有分支”(受保护的分支只能由管理员重命名，见末尾)

跟随本教程:https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/renaming-a-branch

参见“如何在GitHub网站上重命名分支?”。

这是一个更好的方法，因为以这种方式重命名分支(在github.com上)将:

Re-target any open pull requests Update any draft releases based on the branch Move any branch protection rules that explicitly reference the old name Update the branch used to build GitHub Pages, if applicable Show a notice to repository contributors, maintainers, and admins on the repository homepage with instructions to update local copies of the repository Show a notice to contributors who git push to the old branch Redirect web requests for the old branch name to the new branch name Return a "Moved Permanently" response in API requests for the old branch name

2021年12月更新:

Restrict renaming protected branches to admins Now, only admins can rename branches that are protected by branch protection rules. GitHub allows repository collaborators to rename every branch in a repository, with the exception of the default branch. When a collaborator renames a branch, any non-wildcard branch protection rules that apply to that branch are also changed to match the branch's new name. Because only admins can modify branch protection rules, renaming of a protected branch is now limited to admin users. For more information, visit Renaming a branch and Managing a branch protection rule.

你不用终端也能做到。您只需要用新名称创建一个分支，然后删除旧名称。

Create a branch In your repository’s branch selector, just start typing a new branch name. It’ll give you the option to create a new branch: It’ll branch off of your current context. For example, if you’re on the bugfix branch, it’ll create a new branch from bugfix instead of master. Looking at a commit or a tag instead? It’ll branch your code from that specific revision. Delete a branch You’ll also see a delete button in your repository’s Branches page: As an added bonus, it’ll also give you a link to the branch’s Pull Request, if it has one.

我只是复制和粘贴这个内容从:创建和删除分支

我找到了三个关于如何更改Git分支名称的命令，这些命令是一种更快的方法:

git branch -m old_branch new_branch         # Rename branch locally
git push origin :old_branch                 # Delete the old branch
git push --set-upstream origin new_branch   # Push the new branch, set local branch to track the new remote

如果你需要循序渐进，你可以阅读这篇很棒的文章:

如何重命名Git本地和远程分支

以下是对我有效的方法:

首先创建新分支: Git推送github newname:refs/heads/newname 在GitHub网站上，进入设置并将默认分支更改为newname 删除oldname Git推送github——删除旧名

下面的命令对我有用:

git push origin :old-name-of-branch-on-github
git branch -m old-name-of-branch-on-github new-name-for-branch-you-want
git push origin new-name-for-branch-you-want
