在gerrit中重命名远程分支

Question

I have remote branch ABC , and I want to rename it to XYZ. I have renamed it locally.

My current branch is XYZ . The command below will create XYZ on ABC branch

git push origin XYZ:refs/for/ABC

How do I rename ABC to XYZ on the remote?

Answer 1

To rename a branch you need to create a new branch and then delete the old one, but to do that you need to have "Create Reference" permission on "refs/*" reference (probably you'll need help from Gerrit administrators).

IF YOU HAVE PERMISSION, you can do that using the web UI or using the command line.

Web UI

To create or delete branches you need to go to Projects > List > Select project > Branches

Command line

a) Create branch

git push origin ABC:XYZ

b) Delete branch

git push origin :ABC
