git-repo-name – CLI to sync repo name between local and remote

Hacker News

Hey HN, I frequently create GitHub repos for new projects and sometimes have to rename them to keep things organized. To make renaming easier, I built a CLI tool that helps to keep local and remote git repository names in sync. It works bi-directionally and supports these two main use cases: - When you rename a repo on GitHub, you can run `git-repo-name pull` to update the local git directory name. - When you rename a local git directory, you can run `git-repo-name push` to rename the repo on GitHub. In both cases, it makes an API call to GitHub, compares the repo name to the local directory name, and automatically renames the appropriate side. Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think!
