Github rename repository- How do I rename a repository on GitHub?

647    Asked by EdythFerrill in Devops , Asked on Jun 21, 2021

I wanted to rename one of my repositories on GitHub, but getting a red warning :

  • We will not set up any redirects from the old location

  • You will need to update your local repositories to point to the new location

  • Renaming may take a few minutes to complete

Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish #1 and #2 manually? Or what do I have to do locally?

Going to github.com on my repository

Open Settings Tab

The first option in your settings would be the "Repository Name"

Change the actual one and put the new name you want to give to your repository

Click on Rename
