Hi, there,

I tried to rename a branch to a new name with space in it. It complained :
git-branch -M 'test 1' or test\ 1
fatal: Invalid branch name: refs/heads/test 1

Is there a way the get round this problem?

Thanks!

Le

Don't put spaces in branch names.  They aren't permitted.  Use
an underscore ('_') or a hypen ('-').
