Changes the local branch name for already placed patch in git

How to change the local branch name for already placed patch in git?

here consider local branch is created and placed the patch in upstream,

$> git clone <project-repo>
$[project]> git checkout -b <local-branch>
$[project]> //update the files
$[project]> git status
$[project]> git add <file1>, <file2> etc...
$[project]> git commit
$[project]> git review

Later if we need to change the local branch name created which is not matching to the patch, then do the following command,

if you are in same <local-branch>

$[project]> git branch -m <new-local-branch>

if you are in different branch except <local-branch>

$[project]> git branch -m <local-branch> <new-local-branch>

This git command changes the local branch name and reflects the changes in patch after below commands execution.

$[project]> git commit --amend
$[project]> git review
