I'm new to Bitbucket. I've few merged branches in remote and I need to rename these with issue's name. Is there any way to rename these. While searching, I found a hack but I think deleting the branch and pushing it back is neither a good practice nor efficient since I've large number of branches that need to be rename. Any appreciation will be appreciated.Thank you

  • In my opinion move your problem outside of Bitbucket. Git supports rewrite of commits but it requires a lot work. Have you see this link https://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch ? – GianArb Dec 12 '15 at 21:38

Remember, branches are only labels on commits.

Therefore, if you change a lot of branches on local and then push them to server, nothing but the labels are transmitted.

If you have a lot of branches to rename, just create any sort of script to deal with the creation of new, pushing, deletion of old on remote, deletion of old on local...
