How to rename a project

Renaming Projects

Renaming a project in CircleCI depends on how your account is connected.
 
If your account is authorized through the GitHub App or GitLab, renaming a repository does not affect the name of the project in CircleCI. The project name remains the same.
 
However, if you're using GitHub OAuth App or Bitbucket, the organization and repository names map directly to organization and project names in CircleCI. If you rename your organization or repository in your Version Control System (VCS), it will update the corresponding name in CircleCI.
 
Here are the steps to rename organizations and repositories for GitHub OAuth App or Bitbucket:
  1. Rename organization or repository in your VCS
  2. Go to the CircleCI web app using the new org/repo name, for example: app.circleci.com/pipelines/<VCS>/<new-org-name>/<project-name>
  3. Confirm that your plan, projects, and settings have been transferred successfully
  4. If desired, you are now free to create a new org/repo with the previously-used name in your VCS
Please note that it is not possible to rename projects that use CircleCI’s GitHub App or GitLab integrations. The instructions above are for organizations and projects that use CircleCI’s GitHub OAuth App or Bitbucket integrations.
