title: Change Fork Name For Github
body: <p>I recently had an idea for a project. I found a project identical to the one I want to create on Github. I got very lucky because the person just started so there is a base, but everything is very raw and perfect for adding onto. </p>
  
  <p>I made a fork of the project and made a big mistake. After I cloned the fork and committed changes to it I realized I wanted to rename the fork. Obviously this would have been easier to do from the start.</p>
  
  <p>These are instructions from Github itself</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>When you rename a repository, its issues, wiki, stars, and followers
    are preserved. Forks continue to point to the root repository.</p>
    
    <p>However, redirects are not set up for links that point to the old
    location. You will need to update your local repositories to point to
    the new location.</p>

  <p>Which is great, i can simply rename the fork on Github but that leaves me repositories with the old links. How can I update my local repositories?</p>
