@Tyler-Bonnell

When setting up the TestPyPi upload for my custom package -- I noticed there was already a package with my name available in TestPyPi and PyPi. The Package Guide (https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/tutorials/publish-pypi.html) Step 3. Setup your TestPyPI account states to rename your package (to avoid duplicate names).

I am currently working through the process now, and it is unclear the steps that need to be taken to successfully rename the package?

  • Rename the associated GitHub repository (and local cloned folder)
  • Rename the package files within src/
  • Rebuild the dist files after renaming the package

These were the steps I am considering -- but I am unsure if there are others (what the ideal order of operations would be). It would be great if further documentation could be provided on this.
