Is it possible to rename a remote git branch if work has been pushed to it already?

Master
development-branch

branch 1 
branch 2
branch 3

All the above branches have been pushed up to development. Can I rename development-branch to development?

  • Rename the local branch to `development`, then delete the old `development-branch` on the remote, and finally push `development`. – Tim Biegeleisen Dec 21 '17 at 10:14
