Mastering Git: Effortless Branch Renaming on Visual Studio Code's Terminal

Are you curious about how to efficiently rename branches within your IDE, particularly Visual Studio Code (VsCode), using Git commands? Renaming branches can help ensure your branch name aligns with the specific fixes or features you’ve been working on. Here is a simple guide on how to do that seamlessly:

To rename a branch, leverage the -m flag within Git:

git branch -m new-branch-name        

For instance, suppose your current branch is named add-product, and you aim to retitle it as feat/create-product-component.

git branch -m feat/create-product-component        

To confirm that your branch name is updated or changed, execute git status or git branch (which will provide you with a list of all your branches).

This straightforward process allows you to maintain clarity and organization within your project by aligning branch names with the respective tasks or features they represent.
