# Renaming A Branch
|
|
|
|
The `-m` flag can be used with `git branch` to move/rename an existing
|
|
branch. If you are already on the branch that you want to rename, all you
|
|
need to do is provide the new branch name.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git branch -m <new-branch-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to rename a branch other than the one you are currently on, you
|
|
must specify both the existing (old) branch name and the new branch name.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git branch -m <old-branch-name> <new-branch-name>
|
|
```
