You can rename your branch in two ways:
If you’re on that branch locally:
git branch -m new-branch-name
git push origin -u new-branch-name
git push origin --delete old-branch-name
Or on GitHub:
Go to the Branches tab in your repository.
Find your branch and click the pencil icon next to its name.
Enter the new name and confirm.
GitHub will automatically update open pull requests to use the new branch name.
Either way should work. Hope this helps
