Re: Renaming gitg project file to GNOME Commits

[Britt Yazel <bwyazel gnome org>]

I'm fine with idea of giving it a fresh name. Gitg never really made sense to me, though I never knew the reasoning behind it.

GNOME Commits might be clear to all people familiar with git, but for the average user they might think it's an activist app or something. Or like a charity app. This might not be a legitimate concern, just a thought

On gitg we are considering to adopt GNOME Commits as project name.

Same as nautilus is GNOME Files, we though that gitg (a joke around gitx and software which at some point in time use to have a G around to denote it is under GNOME) is not easy to locate for people looking for a git GUI viewer.

We want to be sure that do not cause any problem downstream or in development.

There's an open issue about that https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gitg/issues/138

Side note: We are looking for a new icon, since now we use the one from git. Drafts on: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gitg/issues/137

thoughs?
