why github4 as repo/project name?
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I'm just curious as to why the number 4 was added to the repo/project name? Is there some significance to this?
I only ask because I am one of those random people with some spectrum of OCD about stuff like that. I was also using the node-github repo until I've now found it's probably dead.
I'm glad for all the changes you've made. I'll be moving over to this repo in the next few days when I have time to work on my project requiring it.
Yeah so node-github was an original published name that the author of github never removed. I think there was even a ticket in the old repo asking to remove that. Then someone forked the github repo as github2 and then github3 was taken so I just went with github4.
As for changing the repo, I figured it'd be best to match the npm module name.
Any suggestions for a name that's not already taken in npm?
github-main is not taken on npm.
I wouldn't mind github-official but I'm not sure that's appropriate or allowed.
To my knowledge the github repo name and the npm package name can be different. Perhaps start with a different github repo name, and then sort out the npm package name at a later date as it's not really of high importance at this stage.
Other suggestions would be welcome.
If enough people complain I'll change it.
I changed the repo name back to node-github and away from the more opaque github4.
