  1. On your Github repository, click Settings.
  2. Go to General/Repository name(It's at the very top).
  3. Edit your repository name and click Rename.

On GitHub, go to your repo, Admin, Rename. Specify the new name, then Change, Confirm and that will be done.

You should also rename the remote origin in all local copies of your repo in order pushing and pulling to work.
