Rename a repository

## Synopsis

```text
Rename a repository; its owner stays the same. Git remotes keep working through Gitea's redirect from the old name, but gt commands do not;
a default repository saved with gt repo set-default is updated.
```

```
gt repo rename <new-name> [flags]
```

## Examples

```
# Rename the repository of the current clone
$ gt repo rename new-name

# Rename another repository
$ gt repo rename new-name -R alice/old-name
```

## Options

```
  -h, --help   help for rename
```
