Basic rename (or move):
git mv <old name> <new name>
Case sensitive rename—eg. from casesensitive to CaseSensitive—you must use a two step:
git mv casesensitive tmp git mv tmp CaseSensitive
(More about case sensitivity in Git…)
…followed by commit and push would be the simplest way to rename a directory in a git repo.
