Rename this repository

Opened this issue · 2 comments

When I fork this git repository on GitHub I wind up with a fork called "gholms/documentation". Likewise, if i were to attempt to clone it on my workstation I would get a directory simply called "documentation". That name also happens to clash with my clone of "eucalyptus/documentation", which uses the same generic name, preventing me from cloning it at all without specifically taking action to deal with the conflict.

As you can see, this repository's name is too vague to be useful outside the context of this one location on GitHub. Would you please rename it to something more descriptive, such as "hphelion-documentation"?

We plan to obsolete this repo in the near future

And I’m sure you know this already, but just a reminder that when cloning the repo, you can name it whatever you like:

git clone git@github.com:hphelion/documentation.git hphelion-documentation
