Among other things, Renom:

• Provides workflows to rename projects, plugins, targets, and modules
• Detects project name, targets, modules, and other metadata
• Updates target, build, config, and source files
• Creates backups of all affected files to prevent data loss
• Supports consecutive renames

Installation

You can install Renom either by downloading the binary release or by using the Cargo package manager.
