asgs112796yIf you can't type "fucking" properly, I'm sure you would never come up with a name, let alone a unique one

I will be a package-manager for dotfiles and automated configuration of linux-systems.
It aims to have more features than existing tools like homeshick and to be easily extendable by writing your own functionality. -
yunusgnr316yUse deity names from Indian, Turkish, Latin and other mithologies. Not Nordic thought it's way overused

Just do it like Android and name it a dessert, animal, cloud formation or your favourite urologist's toy. 😄

@CoffeeNcode 🤣
Well it just happens to be my random-idea-and-joke-generator device, aliased as my brain. Not that I had any experience visiting an urologist...
Great pun!
Edit:
(I find the general remarks of "pun intended" rather unnecessary, because it leaves the recognition of a well-versed pun to the readers cognitive ability) 😄 -
There are two hard problems in computing: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

Parzi86696yok so here's how I do it:
If it's a spinoff project, it's <original name>-<attribute i'm adding>, for example "GameYob-Accurate" (yes, that's one of mine)
If spinoff of spinoff, say if I forked VBA-MM (VBA is garbage tho so I never would) it'd be VBA-<attribute> to keep naming consistent
If original, it's probably a description of its purpose in 5 or less words, OR i give it a name from a now-dead game franchise (ex. "SOSETSUKEN Engine", which also is a thing I did)
