Here's a quick example of how to change a Git branch name. There are a few different approaches to the Git branch name change problem.

In this example, we demonstrate a local Git branch change first that does not involve a remote GitHub or GitLab server. In the second Git branch name change example we change a local branch and then push those changes to a remote GitHub repository. And finally, we change the branch in GitHub and push the change down to clients.

If you need to a Git branch name change, this example should help step you through it.

To rename a branch both locally and remotely in Git, you can follow these steps:

Renaming Locally:
1. Checkout the Branch: First, make sure you are on the branch you want to rename.

git checkout old_branch_name

2. Rename the Branch: Use the `git branch -m` command to rename the branch.

git branch -m new_branch_name

Renaming Remotely (GitHub/GitLab):

3. Push the Renamed Branch: Push the renamed branch to the remote repository with the `--force` option to overwrite the old branch on the remote repository.

git push origin new_branch_name --force

4. Delete the Old Remote Branch: If you want to clean up, you can delete the old remote branch.

git push origin --delete old_branch_name

Notes:
- Make sure to communicate with your team members if they are using the old branch to avoid any conflicts.
- Use caution when force-pushing (--force), as it rewrites the history of the branch. Only do this if you're sure it won't disrupt others' work.

GitHub Shortcut:

If you're using GitHub, there's a shortcut method through GitHub's web interface:

1. Go to your repository on GitHub.
2. Click on the "Branches" tab.
3. Find and select the branch you want to rename.
4. Click on the pencil icon next to the branch name.
5. Enter the new branch name and hit Enter.
6. Confirm the renaming.

This method handles both the local and remote renaming automatically.
