Renaming solution / project / folders

Of course, you want to rename the projects files to match our needs.

You can use these commands, e.g. AspNetCoreMvc gets renamed to MyApp:

Rename all references inside the files

LC_ALL=C find . -type f -name '*.*' -not \( -path './node_modules/*' -o -path './src/AspNetCoreMvc/node_modules/*' -o -path './assets' \) -exec sed -i '' 's|AspNetCoreMvc|MyApp|g' {} \;

Rename files and folders

find . -depth -name "*AspNetCoreMvc*" | \
while IFS= read -r ent; do mv $ent ${ent%AspNetCoreMvc*}MyApp${ent##*AspNetCoreMvc}; done
