[Proposal]: Rename the plugin to "Git Backup"

Open tamiroh opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

The name of this plugin appears to have changed from Obsidian Git to Git. Certainly I also thought the plugin name would be better without the word "Obsidian", but I think the current name is a bit too ambiguous, though.

So how about "Git Backup" instead?

In my opinion, this name represents the role of the plugin without over- or under-describing it.

I was thinking of the following others,

  • Backup with Git
  • Git Auto Backup
  • Auto Backup with Git
  • Vault Backup with Git
  • Git Vault Backup
  • Git Suite

but decided that "Git" should be at the beginning of the name to emphasise that it is a plugin for Git, and that the name does not need to include anything more than doing Backup.

So I think "Git Backup" is the best for now. 👀

Why do you think Git is too ambiguous? Are plugins like "Pandoc", "Kanban", "Calendar", "Tasks", "Leaflet" also too ambiguous in your opinion?

It's a plugin for Git with lots of functionality, not just Backup. In my opinion, the name Git is quite clear.

Hmmm, it also seems certain. This plugin may be initially focused on backup feature, but now it has a whole range of Git-related features. So perhaps changing the description in the README would be better.

README has been updated and I am closing this Issue for now :-)
