@zpaul kindly responded to [SOLVED] Prevent direct changes if branch = master.
Similarly, is it possible to rename existing branches? (This is useful if you create a branch with a typo for example, and later want to rename it).
Thank you for your message. We do not provide a way to rename branches directly, because it seems to be a relatively rare use case. However, you can create a new branch from any checkpoint of the branch whose name you misspelled, and close the old branch.
