Project-Wide Rename

To safely rename a .NET project across a git repository, use a PowerShell script that updates solution files, namespaces, folders, and references. It creates a safety branch and generates a summary report to prevent data loss during refactoring.

Refactoring .NET namespaces and directories in a large codebase is best handled by an automated rename script that scans directories and updates file contents deterministically. This ensures all project references are synchronized without manual errors.

Yes, you can use PowerShell to rename a .NET solution with a dirty git history. The automation supports a Recovery mode specifically designed to finish partial rename attempts and protect against data loss in unclean workspaces.

Yes, you need the .NET SDK, Git, and PowerShell installed to automate a project rename. These dependencies are required to scan the codebase, create safety branches, and update solution and project files deterministically.

To simulate a .NET project rename before applying changes, run the PowerShell script with the DryRun parameter. This tests the rename operation safely without modifying actual solution files, namespaces, or directory structures.
