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.

简单三步

Git push origin head Git branch -m old-branch-name new-branch-name Git push origin head

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。

只需删除旧的分支并创建新的分支。

示例(仅重命名远程分支):

git push origin :refs/heads/oldname
git push origin newname:refs/heads/newname

您可能还应该重命名本地分支，并更改推/拉位置的设置。

在Git本地和远程中重命名分支

1. 重命名您的本地分支。

如果你在你想重命名的分支上:

git branch -m new-name

如果你在不同的分支上:

git branch -m old-name new-name

2. 删除旧名称的远程分支，并推送新名称的本地分支。

git push origin :old-name new-name

3.重置新名称本地分支的上游分支。

切换到分支，然后:

git push origin -u new-name

所以结论是:

git branch -m new-name
git push origin :old-name new-name
git push origin -u new-name

这是Hazarapet Tunanyan回答的附加条件。

git branch -m old_branch new_branch         # Rename branch locally


git push origin :old_branch                 # Delete the old branch
# You might be getting an error doing the above step, skip to the next step

git push --set-upstream origin new_branch   # Push the new branch, set local branch to track the new remote

你在git push origin:old_branch时会得到一个错误，因为你试图删除的old_branch可能是默认的分支。

只需要执行另外2步，然后转到github，从设置中更改默认分支，然后你就可以执行git push origin:old_branch了。
