How to refactoring a cloned rails repo?

Being new to Rails, git and terminal. What is the best method of renaming a local version of a cloned repo from github.

e.g.

angular+rails+yeoman I think will be a great bootstrap for a project. The problem being after clone, I would want to give my app its own name. What is the best method in accomplishing this?

yeoman-rails-angular becomes clients-app

I found this resource? But it just doesnt seems very "rails-y"

Solution

  • I may be misunderstanding, but if you are cloning the repository, you can rename it as you do so with:

    $ git clone https://github.com/vlad/yeoman-rails-angular.git clients-app
