GitHub repository renaming underway

[rocky]

The number of GitHub repositories in the Mathics3 organization has gotten large enough that I think organizing them along certain guidelines would help.

I have been renaming repositories that implement Mathics3 Modules to start with Mathics3-Module. In particular,

• pymathics-hello was renamed Mathics3-Module-hello
• pymathics-natlang was renamed Mathics3-Module-nltk

At some point, probably soon, pymathics-graph will be renamed Mathics3-Module-networkx.

Note that in this name change, graph becomes networkx. And not that natlang became nltk. And previously, Mathics3-Module-trepan was created rather than, say, Mathics3-Module-debugger. Why?

"nltk" is the package we are wrapping. Well, also "spacey", but "nltk" is the main one? If there were another natural language package we wanted to wrap, using this idea, it would be more natural what the name should be. Similarly, "networkx" is the package we are wrapping in the previously named "pymathics.graph". Also, "graph" is a vague word; "Network graph" would probably be better. But "networkx" makes it clear what kind of graph we would be talking about.

As for the name "Mathics3-Module-trepan". I didn't want to call it "Mathics3-Module-debugger" because I want or hope that someone else interested in debuggers will be able to use it without going against the generic "the debugger" stigma. "Mathics3-Module-trepan" draws heavily on debugger code for Python in packages "trepan3k" (for Python 3x) and "trepan2" (for Python 2x).

For GitHub repositories that contain Mathics3 Packages, I have started renaming to start with "Mathics3-Package". In particular, "Mathics3-Combinatorica" has been renamed "Mathics3-Package-Combinatorica." Other packages will start to follow this scheme. The one that has been most worked on by someone other than myself is currently called "Mathics3-Rubi". I hold off on that until I get an okay from @aravindh-krishnamoorthy

It's an Ok from my side to rename Mathics3-Rubi 👍

Thanks. Will do when I get a chance.

The repository has been renamed to Mathics3-Package-Rubi now.

GitHub allows a git configuration to refer to the old name, but what you should do is change in your .git/config file:

[remote "origin"]
	url = [email protected]:Mathics3/Mathics3-Rubi.git

to:

[remote "origin"]
	url = [email protected]:Mathics3/Mathics3-Package-Rubi.git

And possibly you might want to rename the git root directory checkout from Mathics3-Rubi to Mathics3-Package-Rubi.

Generalize this for any other Mathics3 Package or Module that has been renamed.

I can confirm that after changing .git/config according to the instructions below, I can pull from the renamed repository. Thanks!
