Rename the current branch:
git branch -m <newname>
Rename a branch while pointed to any branch:
git branch -m <oldname> <newname>
The easy way to remember this branch -m by creating git alias. Use following command to create git alias:
git config --global alias.rename 'branch -m'
Now you can use:
git rename <newname>
# or
git rename <oldname> <newname>
