checkprojectname

easily check the name of your new project to make sure it is unique.

usage

$ checkprojectname NAME

this program will check several different software-related sites to see if it can find any packages or repositories with the given name.

if it finds a match, it will print the site, number of matches, url of the top match, and number of stars (if applicable).

ideally, the name of your new project will not match any existing projects.

installation

via cargo

requires openssl and pkg-config to be installed via your system package manager.

$ cargo install --git https://codeberg.org/binarycat/checkprojectname

via nix

if you have nix installed, it can automatically handle installing build dependancies.

there are many ways to install nix flakes, and any of them should work here, but the reccomended method is via nix-inst.

$ nix-inst git+https://codeberg.org/binarycat/checkprojectname
