Naming Conventions
-
Repository/Project Name:
The full nameStringyMcStringFaceis used for the GitHub repository, documentation references, and configuration files. For example, cloning the repository and referencing it in documentation always uses the full name:git clone https://github.com/EvilBit-Labs/StringyMcStringFace cd StringyMcStringFaceThis convention is reflected in the README, installation guide, and contributing guide.
-
Code References:
The crate, binary, and module names use the shorter formstringy. This is reflected in theCargo.toml:name = "stringy" repository = "https://github.com/EvilBit-Labs/StringyMcStringFace" homepage = "http://evilbitlabs.io/StringyMcStringFace/"The main entry point and library files use
stringyfor the CLI and crate name:#[command(name = "stringy")] println!("Stringy - Binary string extraction tool"); -
Documentation:
All documentation files useStringyMcStringFacefor repository references and URLs, while referring to the tool asstringyin usage examples and instructions. For instance, the installation guide explains:cargo install --path . stringy --helpThe distinction is explicitly clarified in the README:
Remember: it's
StringyMcStringFaceon GitHub, but juststringyon your command line. -
Automation Scripts and Configuration:
Automation and configuration files consistently useStringyMcStringFacefor repository fields and URLs. For example, in dist-workspace.toml:[dist.github] repository = "EvilBit-Labs/StringyMcStringFace"Documentation configuration (book.toml) and spell-check configuration (cspell.config.yaml) also use the full repository name.
Maintaining Consistency
- Always use
StringyMcStringFacewhen referencing the repository, project, or URLs in documentation, scripts, and configuration files. - Use
stringyfor code-level references, including the crate name, binary, CLI tool, and module imports. - When writing documentation or automation scripts, ensure that the repository name is spelled exactly as
StringyMcStringFaceto avoid confusion and maintain consistency. - The cspell configuration includes both
StringyMcStringFaceandstringyas recognized terms to help enforce correct spelling in documentation and code comments.
Troubleshooting Naming Confusion
If you encounter confusion regarding the naming conventions, remember:
- The repository and all official URLs use
StringyMcStringFace. - The tool, crate, and binary are always called
stringy. - This distinction is intentional and documented in the README and other guides.
