Q:

is there any gitlab API to rename a group

I am using GitLab 6.9.2 e46b644, I can not find any API to rename a group from API doc, but from gitlab UI, it really support rename group.
any idea if I need to batch rename groups?
Thanks in advance.

A:

As you've said, it's not documented at: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/4a5044e30269f8b3c6c075093cd4646a478231c7/doc/api/groups.md
Also, it's not implemented at: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/4a5044e30269f8b3c6c075093cd4646a478231c7/lib/api/groups.rb which would be the obvious place.
And I could not find any feature request at http://feedback.gitlab.com
So I think it is safe to assume that it is not possible. I recommend that you open a feature request at http://feedback.gitlab.com
