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)
Rows matched: 7 Changed: 7 Warnings: 0
