Rename project on GitLab¶
If you want rename project on GitLab, I think you will do it as following.
move “Project home”
“Edit”
Change “Project name”
“Save”
But you cannot change path of remote repository in this way. If you will change path, you take a next method.
Create new project.
Change local repository.
git push
But you cannot port existed issues on GitLab 3.1. So you must change data with SQL directly.
$ mysql -u root -p gitlabhq_production
mysql> select id, name from projects;
+----+------------------------+
| id | name |
+----+------------------------+
(snip)
| 35 | test-project |
(snip)
| 39 | prod-project |
+----+------------------------+
29 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select project_id from issues where project_id = '35';
+------------+
| project_id |
+------------+
| 35 |
| 35 |
| 35 |
| 35 |
| 35 |
| 35 |
| 35 |
+------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> update issues set project_id = '39' where project_id = '35';
Query OK, 7 rows affected (0.03 sec)
