Update on GitHub

  1. Navigate to the "Admin" page for the repository you wish to rename.
  2. Change the Repository Name and click on the "Rename" button.
  3. GitHub will present you with a warning dialog. You should pay attention to this if you are renaming a repository shared by multiple people. In case you're the only committer, you can safely ignore the warning.
