Rename Repository To Bsport
As we embark on the journey of upgrading the repository from port_7_to_8 to baport, it presents an ideal opportunity to reassess the name of our repository. The current name, while familiar to those who have been working with the API 7, may not convey the same level of clarity and meaning to others. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind renaming the repository to bsport and discuss the benefits of this change.
Why Rename the Repository?
The primary reason for renaming the repository is to ensure that its name accurately reflects its purpose and functionality. The current name, baport, may only hold significance for modders who are familiar with the API 7. For others, the prefix "ba" may not convey any meaning, leading to potential confusion and misinterpretation.
On the other hand, bsport - BombSquad port - is a name that clearly communicates the repository's purpose and origin. It explicitly states that the repository is a port of BombSquad, a well-known game, making it more accessible and understandable to a wider audience.
Breaking Links: A Necessary Evil
