To rename a branch, you use the following command:

git branch -m <nome antigo do branch> <nome novo do branch>

I saw a lot of people with problems, using the <> signals to try to rename the branch... Well, to simplify, let’s say you have a branch called Nfseissonline, but you come across the situation of having to change to Nfsesjp, you will not use the sinhais <>, just type:

git branch -m NfseISSOnline NfseSJP

First the branch to be changed and then the name of the new Branch.
