How do I rename a repository on GitHub?

by

I wanted to rename one of my repositories on GitHub, but I got scared when a big red warning said:

  1. We will not set up any redirects from the old location
  2. You will need to update your local repositories to point to the new location
  3. Renaming may take a few minutes to complete

Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish #1 and #2 manually? Or what do I have to do locally?
